Chase camera rotate without click

Hi everyone,

I’m making some game, like RPG. I’m using chaseCamera and I want to make rotate it around Spatial (player) without clicking and holding mouse.

Do you have any idea how to do it?

Thx a lot

One way is to write our own camera control.
You can look at the source code for inspiration:
