Looking for the keyboard control method for UniversalCamera

Questions
1

Hello again :slight_smile:
I am trying to recreate what the keyboard control does with the camera when I use the default
camera.attachControl()
as seen here: Babylon.js Playground
So I can have the same thing happen when I use the mouse / touch interface.
It is a kind of side movement I am looking for.

Any ideas where I can look?
Thanks

EDIT:
Never mind, I have found it in the source

Yep, this playground overrides the FreeCameraKeyboardMoveInput class, which in turn is in charge of the keyboard input processing. You can write your own instead of prototype-manipulating the existing class.

You can read about it here:

Customizing Camera Inputs | Babylon.js Documentation (babylonjs.com)

Yes, this is what I did. According to that Customizing Camera Inputs page.
However the tricky thing is that I nee to create my own FreeCameraMouseInput and copy the functionality of that FreeCameraKeyboardMoveInput with it.
So when you drag left it behaves in the same as if I had pressed the left key.

Is this the same issue that we’re discussing in the other thread, or a separate one?

Well it was meant as a different one. But things developed in a way that I think this one can be closed.
