How can I use my camera to rotate the camera towards the ground when u move the mouse up, and rotate the camera towards the ground when u move the mouse down?

Look at the mousemovey command, the camera angle X command, and the wrapvalue command.

Break it down in to small ideas and work from that.

For example, If I move the mouse up rotate the camera down.



And there you go.

thanks! This works. However, there IS one small glitch. How do I stop it from going all the way around on the x scale?

Ah! That will be an exercise for the reader.

Store the result of WrapValue(Camera Angle X()+MouseMoveY()) into a variable, then check to make sure that variable hasn't gone out of bounds. If it has set it to the limit, if it hasn't then leave the variable as is. Then set the XRotate Camera to the variable.
