Hello everyone,

I cant quite seem to get this camera situated the way I would like to. Whenever I move the mouse left or right I want the object to stay in the middle of the screen. Any help will be appreciated.

If you want the camera to rotate around a point you need to use sin and cos operations. If you dont want to do that then you have to use the camera follow commands and use an object for movement and let the camera follow it.

load the zip file and there is a small game demo that uses a combination of both of these. It gives for a cool affect.

Cool luke ill try breaking the code maybe sometime.
