3rd person camera & character control via mouse

[UrbanWandrer]

I know this has been asked numerous times, but the closest I could come to an answer is for a first person cameral control, and I wasn't all that impressed with what I saw, at that. No offense to the author. It just wasn't what I was looking for. I'd like something a little more like the MMO's that are popular right now. I'd like to be able to click a part of the screen and drag the camera angle without loosing sight of my main character.

If any new information has surfaced, I would appreciate your input. If not, maybe we could discuss this and figure something out. :)

ahh huh. ok, just go to the events box, create an event, and there should be something that says let the mouse control the camera. unfortunately, i do not know how you can not lose sight of your character. this method lets you drag the camera to see a 360˚ view of your world.
hope that helps,
pingu :D

another problem with this is that you can't move the camera up or down. and it takes an awful long time to get the full 360˚.
