(See the best response by Shadowkaroth.)
Code:
usr.client.dir=WEST


Problem description:
I'm trying to make the screen rotate in any angle, I know how the usr.client.dir command works, but it only looks like it works in the 4 main dimensions. I would to be able to rotate the screen in any specific angle. The idea is to make something like riding a car, more immersive.

Client dir controls the icon_state perspective that the client views as the main one and rotates from.

You cannot rotate the screen through client.dir. Rotating a plane master would turn things within that plane though.

You can however rotate the car 360 degrees.

client.dir is different from plane mastering though. Its a perspective thing.

Thank you for the quick reply to help. I think there's a misunderstanding, so let me clarify.
usr.dir=EAST //Rotates the user and icon_state's direction

I think that line above is what you are saying, however:
usr.client.dir=EAST //Rotates the screen

I'm talking about rotating the screen, the code above, does that, but it only does it one of 4 directions. I was hoping I could make it rotat in any angle, I believe I was saw someone do it ina Forum, but it was so long ago I forgot where I saw it.

I do recall it being possible to rotate the entire screen. I'm trying to remember how. I did it once for a platformer i was trying to make years ago, called locked.

If you use a plane master, you can rotate it.

Yes, that is exactly was I was trying to do, I knew it was possible, I saw it in another game before. now the question is how?

I see the plane master code, but I don't see how it would work, the example that BYOND gives, is about changing colors, could you give an example how to use it to rotate the screen?
