The player is just in stand position. i'm playing with this code: Code: vec_set(temp, player.x); vec_sub(temp, camera.x); vec_to_angle(camera.pan, temp); I think that would be the idea... but seems not working for me... Any idea? Thanks

You could attach the camera to a vertex of an object that is the right distance away from the player. The object is set to the players position and then rotates accordingly. I can't really explain this properly. That probably doesnt make sense, I can't think how to explain it any better. For some reason, my ambition always seems to beat my ability.
