Spherical first person cam movement (for planets)

I've never been able to get a robust spherical movement function to allow you to walk around the surface of a planet. It always has problems, and the examples I see on the web basically use methods I'm not sure work in Lite_C... that is, they often end up with a lookat matrix and such.. which isn't much use(as far as I know) when you have to set plan/tilt/ roll to get the camera to work in A8.

It would be nice if you could just set an up vector... and rotate around that...

Hi,

You mean like ang_rotate? You can also try ang_for_matrix (never used that one though so maybe I am saying something stupid here and it is more for directx-related stuff).

Or did I misunderstand and you have problems with gravity?

I dont see the problem changing the entity tilt angle according to the normals on the planet and its center vector

Hey! Take a look at this: Walking on walls -- alignToVec by JulzMighty

Greets!

Thanks, I try out that code

Ok guys, ang_for_axis worked for me.. thanks.. never saw that function till now...finally I have robust movement on the planet surface.. been bugging me for years
