• Then program the mouse so that the camera pans around based on the location of the mouse from a left clicked point.

Greetings, I’m trying to do the above but can’t seem to work out how. What I want to happen is that when the user clicks left and camera pans in the direction of the mouse, i.e. if the mouse is dragged upwards then the camera pans upwards. Anyone got any ideas?

Is this DGDK or DGDK.NET?

In any case, you can use the dbMouseMoveX and dbMouseMoveY, and apply the values as rotation increments.



Experiment with that to see if it gives you the desired effect.

Perfect, just what I wanted. I set up camera modes on num buttons 1, 2 and 3, added the code into 3's stratum and tried it. It was a bit fast but ill adjust it some how after I’ve added in the left click code.

Just incase your wondering, I’m trying to make a camera mode like World of Warcraft's perspective adjustment where you click left and move the mouse to orbit the characters head. I want it to compliment my 3RD person prospective and a RTS style view to go with my unique battle system which I can’t talk about.

Just pointing out, to slow down the speed of pan add a multiplier. Basically multiply the mouse speeds by a decimal like 0.1 (usually best), or divide it by a larger number, like 100. If that makes sense.

Hi I'm doing a LevelMapper but I'm having some issues with the mouse for instance when I press "preview" you can look from a FPS perpective but when I press SPACE to exit to a top view, the mouse pan is completely .... anyone has any idea how to correct this?

p.s Mouse pan is made by holding rightclick

I guessed that RUCCUS but thanks anyway.

Will do APEX but I’ve only just started programming after finishing the GDD and its an RPG (should have said) so it will be ages yet...could post screens as I go I suppose, might be something for my website actually.

I just checked this code and to work it in the way i wanted the code must be this:



Not the above quoted code.
