Ok my first posy woot
ok so my problem is with the camera angle, i have managed to laod an onject (my char) onto a terrain (used in the tut), i can then make a camera, get the camera to follow my char relative to his possition and i understand all my code so far, my problem however lies with the camera angle when i use the W/S keys, i want the keys to make the camera move up in hight, closer in distance and rotate the angle to point down and i want the total opposite for the S key, like in all MMORPG's when u press the up or down key it scrolls over the head of the char and down will pul lthe camera to the floor. So i am wondering how to make this possible in relation to my code. this is what i have so far

Also i have so far tried to make the W button (KeyCode 17) add values to the height and distance whitch works fine, my problem lies with changing the relative camera angle,i figured out that it is the Z axis but whenever i try changing that value in the
if(KeyCode) {} section it doesnt work at all, it zooms into my char straight away and then slowly glitches to point to a side angle.
all help is greatly appreiciated.
thx very much in advance guys.
even the life you lead is borrowed because your not promised tommorow
