Here is a Hotrod that has a Camera positioned in the Driver's seat that when activated follows your PC's mouse. Is best if you view from main window from Camera View button and open a second Top view window to control Mouse movements. You can navigate the Hotrod through the windshield but it is way to sensitive. Still trying to find the right adjustments to make it more smooth. So if anybody wants to try to get it to work better, please do so.

You could also have your buddy jump in and you control his movement in Shared Space. LED will show user's name when you activate mouse button, other wise it shows "Local" when not in Shared Space.

Camera View and Activate Mouse buttons toggle ON/OFF.

Edit: 01/07/2008 9:30 Am PST - Small update to the Camera View button now works with mutiple copies and or name change.

Thanks for the comments. I must confess that all I did here was use the Mouse chasing Object item located in the Activities - Base library. I incorporated a Camera in the driver's side of the Hotrod, and then added commands to the buttons.
I was hoping to steer the Hotrod through the windshield which does not work very well.

Maybe Dele can do is magic/math on the Chasing Command script?

And what would be really cool is add another dimension so that we could use this script in all the object's axes.
