Mouse Movement

[nsanati]

Is it possible to parent the camera movement to mouse movement?

yes, but not in the _playGnd, the editor is a variation on Mr.doob's HTML Editor and for some reason getting mouse positions just doesn't work ( https://github.com/mrdoob/htmleditor/issues/10 )

that said, if you're working in your own editor ( outside the _playGnd ) I normally pull mouse coordinates this way: first i add the following global variables up top:

var mouseX = 0, mouseY = 0;

then I add the following listener to my setup:

document.addEventListener( 'mousemove', onDocumentMouseMove, false );

then I paste the following function:

        function onDocumentMouseMove(event) {
            mouseX = event.clientX;
            mouseY = event.clientY;
        }

( or some variation thereof ) then you can use mouseX && mouseY for whatever in the draw function

also, this exists >> http://threejs.org/examples/js/controls/TrackballControls.js example here: http://threejs.org/examples/misc_controls_trackball.html

Hey Nick thanks for your reply, Can I ask what editor do you use? because when I paste the codes from _playGnd it says "Error creating WebGL context."

I'm using sublime text 2, but the editor your using doesn't have any effect on how your code executes, so that shouldn't be an issue

yea it was the browser's problem. thanks a lot for your help, I'm now able to move the camera with moving the mouse. you're the best teacher ever.
