need help on character rotation in (nearly) 3D shooter

[DanShadow]

Im not sure how to get a character to rotate...if you have played James Bond: Goldeneye you'll know what im talkign about. If you move up, you go forward, if you move back, y ou go backward, if you go right, your character turns right, so y ou can see the map at a different angle. Does anybody know any way of doing this???

i don't think that can be doen in tuing, a 3d enviroment that big.. i dunno i've never trid it...but they use different programs for making those games ...not turing lol....

yes it can be done....matter of fact it has been done...and its on this forum

k... if yer character is a simple sprite u can rotate it 360 degrees and save it to an array...
if it's a 3d model u'll need to build yourself a 3d engine and implement it in there...

maybe you are talking about something like raycasting?

For me and SilverSprite's final project game, he did raycasting with turing, check it out, it is under the source code section I believe.

Catalyst also did a 3D engine, and it is open sourced right now, and could be found in the source code section.
