You can also fake mouselook with a camera control script as well, just giving you another option.

This is the string that I use for my amusement park rides to fake mouselook. You may need to play with the variables, and definately need to embed it in a wearable object.

llSetCameraEyeOffset(<-0.5, 0, 1> );
llSetCameraAtOffset(<30.0, 10, -2.0> );

I just threw it into the poseball scripts I used. So I assume it is probably easier to use it in some sort of animation or AO to use with whatever object you make. But I am no scripter, don't claim to be.

But it basically is the exact same screen as usual, but it forces a POV (point of view) type mouselook view of the world.

Touching is left-click in mouse look, just like in normal view. You should only need the alt key if you want to right-click and get the pie menu.

(ohh, are you trying to move physical objects? If so, use the ctrl key. the regulr sliding with no keys will work too)
