hi does anyone know how to allow mouse rotation to control limitless mouse look? currently i can move my mouse around to look but after 1 complete turn i cant move anymore. say i move left, once i face forward after a complete turn i cant turn left anymore. any ideas?
oh and how about right click and give a camera zoom. something like switching to sniper scope?

Hi zakkwylde,

Use centerMouse() in a ZExpression to center the mouse, "}" as Key of a KeyPress Component for the Right Mouse Button, and lower the App.FOV property dynamically using a ZExpression to perform a zoom effect.

Good luck ~

here is a little example,. simplest implementations,. but should get you going,. one thing to be VERY carefull of, is using the (F9) play button as you can loose control of your mouse! it will re-center and you can only CtrAltDel to get out,. is there no key to end that ??? also I would only run anything with mouseCenter in fullscreen,. as if you click outside the window (easy to do when you cant see the pointer!) you will loose focus on the app and again the mouse will keep centering making ending things difficult!

Hej jph,

You can use Alt+Enter to Start / Stop

ah nice! thaks Kjell,. is there a keyboard shotrcuts list yet? I looked on the main page but did not see one listed,. although there are not many shortcut yet,. that I know about,. lol

By the way,

Here's a useful debug setup while working with centerMouse. It uses the Escape key to toggle Debug state as it's the only hard-coded key in executables & unused in the Editor.
