What I thought would be simple is giving me a headache, maybe i'm just not thinking clearly today. Its a MP space sim, using a simple form of radar with an overhead cam. I've tried xrotate camera, zrotate, yrotate, rotate camera, roll camera right, etc and I just can't get it to work right. Instead of the camera rolling with the direction of the ship, i look at the radar and see my ship rotating with everything else. I'm sure someone here has simple code to get this set right. What i'd like to do is that when I turn say left towards a target, the radar will show that target above me on the indicator. Thanks in advance

+ Code Snippet

make camera 2
set camera view 2,900,0,1024,100

'in the loop
position camera 2, px#, py#+500, pz#
point camera 2, px#, py#, pz# (These are object positions)

'stuck on rotation here
