ArcRotateCamera unlimited alpha rotation (Solved)

[zeamays]

Hello everyone!

I'm new with babylon.js and now I'm trying to make a third person shooter game.

The idea is to make an ArcRotateCamera that is able to perform unlimited alpha rotation. However, I'm struggling with the mouse cursor as it has a limited movement (that is the border of the browser), making an unlimited alpha rotation impossible.

Is there any way to make it possible?

Thank you in advance

Hi zeamays,

 

You want unlimited rotation like in this page ? http://www.jaskar.host-ed.me/BabyksCube/

Then use :

camera.lowerAlphaLimit = null;
camera.upperAlphaLimit = null;

 

For the mouse cursor, you can use : requestPointerLock

Be sure to call the webkit, moz and other versions!

It will hide the mouse cursor, so take care to display a reticle or something like this at the screen center, and exit the state en "Esc" key press 

 

Another question ?

 

If it's okay, remind to mark the topic as solved.

Thanks for the reply Jaskar!

requestPointerLock is exactly what I need!
