Simple camera question

G'day. I am developing a simple 3d tanks game for fun, to learn the engine. I have set the parent of a camera scene node to the tank it is following. The tank is just an IAnimatedMeshSceneNode*. What's the easiest way to set the position AND the rotation to a point relative to the tank?

Thanks for answering

This is where i'm finally stuck.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but if you use setPosition() on your camera it will still be attached to your tank so you can move it wherever you want and it will still follow the tank around. As for rotation, cameras don't have rotation, instead they rotate themselves to point at the target, which you can change using setTarget(). Hope that helps
