-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I am totally with you. I am also lost on this one hehe.. I recently figured out how to do tracelines properly so that should say a lot ;)
I'll take a different approach to my problem, maybe other people can understand :o The physics will not work for my problem, as I'm not really changing the physical angles of the entity, but it's eye angles. So for example, I would like to rotate a player's view to the left, without moving their model at all. If the player is facing straight ahead, this is farily easy. But if the player is looking up/down, then I have no idea what to do, as the angles are relative to the world.. There must be some transpose functions or something I'm missing.. Any help would be greatly appreciated ;) Thanks again. On 7/27/06, Garry Newman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yeah I know what you mean I think..
