How to attach an oject to the camera

[DougFane]

I think I know what the issue is, and I don't know if this is what you said, but here it is:

_______   is the gun

<  is the camera

faced straight ahead:

_______
       <

faced 90 degrees:
       |
       |
       ^
       |

ans so on...

I think this is what was making me think it was moving in a circular motion, because the gun appears to recede and advance. Is this what you were referring to, and is altering the pivot point going to solve it?

[AGP]

Yes and yes. Does simply calling weapon.setRotationPivot(camera.getPosition()) not work?

[EgonOlsen]

That would mix camera and object space, which isn't supposed to work very well. Can you post the current value of getRotationPivot()?

Well first I would like to say, thank you for all the help. Unfortunately, I accidentally overwrote the file of the project I was working on, and post the value that you are asking for. the good news is that while writing test code for the FPS project I was working on, I thought of an alternate game type that seemed a more worthy venture. Rather than create another shooter, I am going for more of a puzzle/adventure type game. The basic premise is that you are trying to get to a spinning monkey head (don't ask) on a platform. You can run and jump like usual, but you can also shoot large red balls which ca be used as stepping platforms. I will make a new post with a zip file attached that contains a fully functional (albeit simple) version of the game.

Thank you for the help Egon and AGP
