Hi,
I would like to write a code for the rotation of the camera around an object.(The camera must always follow the object).

I tried with this code but the camera moves strangely.

Any suggestions?

set camera to follow object position x(objnumber),object position y(objnumber),object position z(objnumber),object angle y(objnumber),distance behind object, height from object, smooth, collision

Smooth: 100 makes the camera follow smoothly 1 makes it follow instantly

Collision: i just leave this at 0 but its supposebly supposed to give the camera collsion

Hope thats what you need!

I've just made this little example You control a box around with the arrowkeys... And the camera will follow and turn with the player.

Here it is:


Since I don't know wethever you use DarkBasic Classic or DarkBasic Pro, I've made the code so it should be able to compile in both versions.

Hope that helps

And by the way, the source code button don't work... Use the code snippet method.

Just a comment:
I noticed in your first post you didn't say that you wanted to move it with the mouse, and that may have been helpful to the people trying to help you.

And I'm not very good at coding, so I can't really help you... sorry.
