Im having some issues with this command after loading a BSP map into our game. basically its not working! What it does instead is re-adjust the camera direction and position of the camera once and then not accept arrow key inputs. What am I missing? Can someone post a quick snipet that successfully uses this command?

Make sure your command is inside the main Do Loop

Great! I didnt have the command in the main loop. I knew i was doing something wrong! One follow up question:

How well does the PITCH CAMERA command work with the CONTROL CAMERA USING ARROWKEYS command? So far Im experiencing some weird effects when I try to pitch the camera using two other keys "a and z" while moving the camera with the keyboard. It seems that the PITCH CAMERA command is changing the camera direction back to some default direction when i let go of the key I bound it too. Any help?

I don't actually use the control camera with arrowkeys command. Its much easier to write it yourself. Then use the mouse for pitch. Check out the FPS tutorial in the help if you don't know how to do that.



I havent tested the code so i may have forgotten something. But you get the idea.

i will try that out later today. i figured i could just write my own camera control with individual DBPro commands. But when I saw the CONTROL CAMERA USING ARROWKEYS commands, i wanted to see if there were any advantage with it. Obviously not.
