I'm looking in the code snippets area can't find the code, but you might!

Anyway Try the Code in the Code box it explains itself i hope if not i'll try to implement a full working code for you!
O.K.


Hope this helps?

OK made a sample program to help you understand camera movement and controls with a player!

Note This is a BASIC example and the Player is a ball



Hope this is more helpfull?

1) Go to the Newbie forum (or the DBpro forum)
2) Go to the search box at the bottom
3) Find the answer

Sorry if thats too blunt for you but this has been answered a few times before.
Good luck !

Hi!
Could you writte down the link you found? I don't want to post thread, yet.
I'm trying to find the same(sort of) thing with search, but unsuccesful for now.
Sorry 4 takin' your posting space.

@everyone
What I'm looking for:
Camera exactly like in game Fable - The Lost Chapters (or World of Warcraft, but without camera following player/object orientation; while holding only left click). A and D keys doesn't rotate the object, but face it in that direction and start moving and mouse movement rotates camera around player/object without rotating him/it. With W key it object takes camera orientation and start to go in camera facing direction.

Well, sorry if there are grammar mistakes. English is not my fluent lang.

Thanks and cheerz,
Pedja.

Other things to keep in mind
