Camera Rotation Help PLZ

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/Camera Rotation Help PLZ

Hi All,

I really need help, I can't seem to get my head around it. I want to have a cam system like in DnD Heroes for the XBOX...allow me to explain.

It has a full 360 rotation cam in 3rd person perspective that is independant of character direction. And it allows you to zoom in closer to character for viewing.

So if the character is walking forward, it allows you to have the cam in front of the character, looking at him/her as he/she walks. It's great for tight areas like dungeons

See what I mean? Completely Independant 360 rotation around and above the charcter. It is parented in some way also to the character.

Are there any pro's that can help? And yes, I have already looked in the archives, and did forum searches...found a couple things but only half way there, and all with static placement and movement.

Thanx for any help that can be provided.
