Blitz3D fps tutorial 3

~PLEASE WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY~ This is another fps tutorial that targets collisioning. These past tutorials are about creating an old style MS-DOS fps game. This video explains more than the previous tutorials. It is also slower than the past 2 (part two was seperated), yet faster than number 1.
The code within this video is nearly impossible to see without having it set to high quality. I forgot I had removed the plant. It had become an extremely large annoyance.

~FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT WISH TO WATCH ALL OF MY VIDEOS:
I've pasted the code below, though the sources must be changed to work on your computer.~

"Noice (typing error) that the space that is in the description does not appear during this video".

Well, can´t you simply fix this in the description? Creating annotiations takes more time than changing description, so why make this complicated (this may be pointless, but I notice from it anyway).

[KiwiBlaster516]

@TinklerStar I actually tried to fix that, but the youtube format kept messing it up for some reason.

[KiwiBlaster516]

Just as a note, you cannot copy the code exactly from the description, because there may be format errors.

@crescentmoonpro It's been a while, but I think the problem is that the rotational axis is relative to the front of the camera. So, rotating it sideways will always make it rotate to that direction. As for how to fix that... I'm not exactly sure, but a pivot might help. It's the problem with cameras in Blitz3D, the movement/rotation is always relative to where the camera is facing. Then again, it has been maybe 2+ years since I even looked at Blitz3D, so I may be wrong.

so i have a small problem, im working on a game of my own and i figured it be time to display some of the variable values so i can better debug, however i discovered i cannot display any sort of text while im running 3d graphics and or have a camera present i need a little help i could u explain this to me? i will pm u my test program that i used to check my theory

@HuskyRonan On the help page, there is a place called Command Reference. Once you get into that, click scan codes.

ii need help, i want it to be W,A,S,D
