spinning a object by moving the mouse :wink:
#drh 2007

environ = loader.loadModel(“object”)
environ.reparentTo(camera)
environ.setPos (0,15,0)
environ.setScale (1,1,1)

base.disableMouse()

def rotate(task):
mx = base.mouseWatcherNode.getMouseX()
my = base.mouseWatcherNode.getMouseY()

dis = mx * 2
dis2= my * 2

time = task.time * 2
	
angledegrees = time* 6.0 * mx 
angledegrees1 = time* 6.0 * my 
angleradians = angledegrees * (math.pi / 180.0) 	

environ.setHpr(angledegrees,-angledegrees1, 0)



print mx
print my


return Task.cont

taskMgr.add(rotate, “rotate”)

run()

hope that helps a bit :wink:

be sure that your mouse cursor is in the engine window by starting up, instead the programm crashs :wink:
