Yes I think it's possible but what for?
Your pivot has only position (or position and orientation) in space, so you can store this data in some variables and after moving your pivot you just copy its current position (and orientation) to object which is being controlled by pivot.

And dont worry, I'm not good at english too

For a lot of think, actualy I use Blitz3D who can create pivot and it's very simple to make single person camera or other think, like the moon arround the earth

In Dark you can't translate camera, so to make the strafe mode it s very difficult . . .


How i glue the camera to an opbject ? ? ?

thank

SET CAMERA TO FOLLOW

Very versatile, you can get it to fall behind, catch up, delay before moving, pivot, point at a different object. The possibilities are endless, I have a camera acting like it's attached to a helicopter, filming a race, and it's not glued to anything or restricted in any way.

Much better than just gluing and pivoting
