+ Code Snippet

   `generic 1st person camera code
   if rightkey()=1 then strafe#=strafe#+0.75
   if leftkey()=1 then strafe#=strafe#-0.75
   strafe#=strafe#*0.75
   camYAngle#=camera angle y()+90
   camXPos#=camera position x()+(sin(camYAngle#)*strafe#)
   camZPos#=camera position z()+(cos(camYAngle#)*strafe#)
   position camera camXPos#,camera position y(),camZPos#
   x#=wrapvalue(x#-mousemovey()*0.75/5.0)
   y#=wrapvalue(y#+mousemovex()*0.75/4.0)
   z#=wrapvalue(z#+mousemovez()*0.75/4.0)
   rotate camera x#,y#,z#
   if upkey()=1 then move camera 2.0
   if downkey()=1 then move camera -2.0

yes, i COULD figure that out, but what i meant was making the camera rotation smoother... whatever, maybe you don't what i mean...

+ Code Snippet

x#=mousemovex()
z#=mousemovez()
turn camera right x#/100
pitch camera up z#/100

I frequently get my y & z mixed up when dealing with the mouse so look out for that...

This should enable you to control the smoothness of the mouselook by changeing the number 100.

yes, but it is still not what i meant. okay, i'll describe it a little better:

what i mean is that when you move the mouse, and then suddenly stop it, the rotation should smooth out, not stop instantly...

sorry for my stupidness...

try this, hope it helps

    mx#=wrapvalue(mx#+mousemovey()/3)
    my#=wrapvalue(my#+mousemovex()/3)
    mz#=wrapvalue(mz#+mousemovez()/3)

    rem /* smooth angle rotation */
    ca#=wrapvalue(curveangle(mx#,ca#,2.5))
    cb#=wrapvalue(curveangle(my#,cb#,2.5))
    cc#=wrapvalue(curveangle(mz#,cc#,2.5))

    rem /* player controls */
    if upkey()=1 then x#=x#+sin(my#)*speed#:z#=z#+cos(my#)*speed#
    if downkey()=1 then x#=x#-sin(my#)*speed#:z#=z#-cos(my#)*speed#
