When using the position camera command the dbMoveCameraUsingArrow keys command will only allow you to use the arrow keys to turn from left or right the foreward and back arrow keys won't work. Am I using the commands wrong or is some kind of bug? check out the code.

If I comment out the position camera command the arrow keys work fine

Try this instead :

+ Code Snippet

  
#include "DarkSDK.h"

void DarkSDK ( void )
{
	dbSyncOn   ( );
	dbSyncRate ( 60 );
	dbBackdropOn (5000);
	dbFogDistance (5000);
	dbHideMouse ();
	
    
	dbMakeMatrix (1,1000, 1000, 10, 10);
	dbPositionMatrix (1, 0, 0, 0);
	dbRandomizeMatrix ( 1, 100 );
	// dbLoadImage ( "grass.jpg", 1,1 );
	// dbPrepareMatrixTexture ( 1, 1, 4, 4 );


	dbPositionCamera ( 0, 200, 0 );

	while ( LoopSDK ( ) )
	{
		if ( dbEscapeKey ( ) )
			return;
		
        dbControlCameraUsingArrowKeys (0, 30, 5);
		dbUpdateMatrix (1);
		
		dbSync ( );
	}
}

Thanks that worked but why did it work there? I did move the command around in the program but I did not try it there!

You were re-positioning the camera back to 0,200,0 on each sync (and thus after each movement). Turning was not effected because that only rotates the camera.
