iTestBed::lookAt()

Description

Points the camera at a target. Can be used for a chase camera.

Syntax

void lookAt(const cPosition& target, float angle, float elevation, float distance);

Parameters

	target		The position to look at.
	angle		Orientation of the camera in the horizontal plane. This angle is in radians, zero puts the camera along the positive y axis and increasing values rotate the camera clockwise around the target.
	elevation		Elevation of the camera. This angle is in radians, zero puts the camera horizontal, increasing values raise the camera decreasing values lower the camera.
	distance		Distance of the camera from the target.

Remarks

Calling this method on a given frame inhibits the built in testbed camera controls for that frame.
For chase camera, then, call this method every frame to avoid conflicting camera controls.
