Hi,
I wanna know if there’s a way to numerically control queasycam features, like position, pan and tilt.
what i really need is to have a virtual camera on a 3D environment, controlled by cp5 sliders instead of the mouse.
it gets troublesome since when I use
```auto
cam.position();
```
it returns
```auto
The function "position()" does not exist
```
same goes for pan or tilt
tks

just play first time QUEASY
and found that position vector works here
( win 7 / 64bit // processing 3.5.3 / java mode // QueasyCam 1.5 )
also i have a other idea for operation,
i used instead CP5
> mouseWheel Plus Plus
and added rotation too
```auto
import queasycam.*;
QueasyCam cam;
float angx=0, angy, dang=TWO_PI/360;
String info = "QUEASY CAM\nand mouse Wheel plusplus\nuse press key [x][y][z] position, [v][h] rotation\nand turn mouseWheel";
void setup() {
size(400, 400, P3D);
cam = new QueasyCam(this);
cam.sensitivity = 1;
cam.speed = 0.1;
cam.position.x = 0;
cam.position.y = 0;
cam.position.z = 30;
perspective(PI/3, (float)width/height, 0.2, 10000);
println(info);
}
void draw() {
background(51);
rotateX(angx);
rotateY(angy);
box(10);
}
void mouseWheel(MouseEvent event) {
float e = event.getCount();
if ( keyPressed && key == 'x' ) cam.position.x += e; // [x]
if ( keyPressed && key == 'y' ) cam.position.y += e; // [y]
if ( keyPressed && key == 'z' ) cam.position.z += e; // [z]
if ( keyPressed && key == 'v' ) angx += e*dang; // [v]
if ( keyPressed && key == 'h' ) angy += e*dang; // [h]
}
```
the idea is you can multiplex the mouse wheel by pressing keys,
so 5 sliders with 5 lines of code ? has something !

To expand on @kll 's answer: the reason that code didn’t work and this does is it is an object, not a method.
From the QueasyCam library:
> `position` = a 3D PVector that represents the position of the camera
> [GitHub - jrc03c/queasycam: (!!! NOTE: INACTIVE PROJECT !!!) A super-simple FPS camera library for Processing.](https://github.com/jrc03c/queasycam)
So position isn’t a method – it is a PVector object
- [https://processing.org/reference/PVector.html](https://processing.org/reference/PVector.html)
…which means you can use position.x – or position.set(x, y, z) – plus .rotate(), .mult(), .lerp(), et cetera.
