Hi all,
I've got a little problem with my camera and not sure how to fix it.
What I have is a car that is rotated by a dummy. the car body is a child of this dummy.
I then have an extra camera dummy that is attached to the rotation dummy. My camera uses that position.
controls_camera = world.getCamera();
controls_camera.align(playerMoveDummy);
controls_camera.rotateY((float) Math.PI);
tempVector = carCameraDummy.getTransformedCenter();
controls_camera.setPosition(tempVector);
But what happens is shown in the image below: (front view of car)

Image A is the setup: camera above the car.
Image B is what happens when my car rotates.
Image C is what I want to happen.
Does anyone know how to do that or point me in the right direction? I assume I need to get matrix from the dummy and apply it to the camera?
