Something like this should work ....

Initialise ...

plane = createplane() : entitypickmode plane, 2
target = createsphere() : entitycolor target, 255,0,0
player = createsphere()

In the main loop ....

Picked = camerapick( mousex(), mousey() )
if Picked = plane
   positionentity target, pickedx(), pickedy(), pickedz()
endif

if entitydistance( player, target ) > 10
   turnentity player, 0, deltayaw( player, target )*.1, 0
   moveentity player, 0, 0, .5
endif

The target is a sphere to show you where you're moving to .. normally a pivot would suffice here.

Hope this helps.
