I think the "point camera" command is what you are looking for:



haven't tested the code, but pretty sure it should work

the twick is to set the same position for the camera as the object, same rotation, and just "move camera" backward. this will make an illution of rotating. no need for hard math formulas..



function MoveCameraAroundObj(ObjNum as Integer,Angle as Float,Distance as Integer)
position camera object position x(ObjNum),object position y(ObjNum),object position z(ObjNum)
yrotate camera object angle y(Objnum)+Angle
move camera -Distance
endfunction

then in loop you do something like:

angle# = Leftkey()-RightKey()
MoveCameraAroundObj(1,Angle#,100)
