If any one has a snippet or theory behind moving an object in 3d relating to the mouse with a movable camera, could u post what u have so I can understnad the best process for this current problem.

I can do a fixed camera no problems but Id like to able to move it in 1-3 of the dimensions and still be able to move my object.

is there an app or game which uses the same effect, so people can understand better what you need?

There also appears to be a snippet on the Code Snippets message board here at DBPro. I only looked over it briefly, though...

Yes I have a theory but havn't practiced this, it's off the top of my head, I will be suprised if you havn't thought of this already, but.. :-

First set the camera to move with the mouse, x for left and right(3D x axis) and y for forwards and back (3D z axis), with the middle mouse button(4) for up and down (3D y axis), thats the 3 axis covered for the camera, of course tilt and roll are other things to bare in mind, I am presuming this is not needed.

so to move the object you can click and hold the left mouse button and while held you move the object with the mouse the same way you would with the camera, once you let go of the left mouse button (or the one assigned to the object control) the object stays in that place or does whatever you code it to do after releasing the button and you go back to the camera control.

Ops, sorry would ahve added this with an edit if there was one...


You could use the right mouse button for the movement of both the object and the camera if needed, I am sure you worked this out but thought I should add it incase not.

I tried your demo and it's all messed up, yes it loads... but when cliking an object highlighted with the mouse it grabs various cubes within a peculiar range of the mouse and drags them in to the middle of the screen willy nilly..

good idea but not quite working here..

Ok ! Thats now corrected. It takes only one click.

The demo only demonstrates how to select 3d-object with
mouse and how to grab it for taking with you(camera).

Demo itself is simple and don't have collision detection.
So objects overlap and so.

We have to make little game with those commands and give it free. Now ,that was a good idea..thanks..Seeing you at showcase section..
