    Hello. How to implement camera movement by click in First-Person mode? On the computer by default – WASD, I would like the character to move by mouse click or tap (on touch-screen devices). I would also like the camera to keep looking where it was looking before it was moved.

    Implemented as follows. The only thing I could not implement a smooth movement of the camera from point A to click point. There is a node “tween camera to”. But I don’t understand what to put in “look at” input.

    Hi,

    The “look at” parameter specifies a 3d point where the camera should look at after the movement is done. If you want to keep the camera’s orientation the same then you can calculate the “look at” parameter by adding together the camera’s current direction/orientation vector and the new position to move to.

    I attached a test demo, where you can look around via the left mouse button and move by clicking the plane with the right mouse button.
    Hope this helps!

    How can I open your attached zip file in verge3d? So I can have a look on the code blocks.

    Hi, you can unpack it manually into Verge3D’s applications directory. After that it should appear in the project list in the App Manager. Then you can open it in the Puzzles Editor and check the code blocks.
