Okay Hi, Im new here, I have been looking at the IRRLICHT engine for a little while now.

Ok So I want a 3rd person Camera setup but cant really figure it out
I have searched the forums and found code blocks but none of them work for me.

what I would like is an example file, some source code for me to look at of a 3rd person camera view that is always behind a node that I can move. A bit like Jedi Knight if there is one...

Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks alot. Godl1ke

I remember reading a post about a "WOW Camera" (WOW = World of Warcraft) somewhere on the fourms.

I think this is it, if not, a quick search for "Wow camera" may bring up better results: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... wow+camera

I didn't make any changes to it, but yes I use Windows...

On second thought. I did change the turn speed when you press W and R because I thought it was too slow.
