Hello!!

I looked through the documentation and having trouble trying to code the way to lock my game in one spot so that players cant rotate scene. Do I use another camera or the get front position or what 😂?

You’ll want to use the following four properties:

lower Alpha Limit  
upper Alpha Limit

lower Beta Limit  
upper Beta Limit

If you set both the lower and upper properties to the same value, the camera won’t be able to rotate.

Hope that helps!

Just wanted to add that if you don’t attach control to the camera, the user won’t be able to change its position - [https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#0XEE49#26](https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#0XEE49#26)
