i'm currently using chasecam as my camera. I was trying to get another model to face the avatar model when it's charging, but i ended up with my window having a seizure upon runtime. The camera flickers everywhere and i'm not sure if the problem is my code or the camera. It's alot like having double vision, actually. If a screenie is needed just tell. If you need the rest of the code please tell.

Yes, please do post all your code, since I spent some time trying to fill the gaps, but gave up.
well, im hungry so i just read the first part of ur code 
i think the getdirection function is wrong.
public Vector3f getDirection(Vector3f a, Vector3f b){
Vector3f vec = new Vector3f();
vec.x = b.x - a.x;
vec.y = b.y - a.y;
vec.z = b.z = a.z;
return vec;
}
i think it should be like this.
public Vector3f getDirection(Vector3f a, Vector3f b) {
// You dont want to modify the original vector. it might cause some problems. so clone them
Vector3f v1 = a.clone();
Vector3f v2 = b.clone();
// Then calculate direction. The direction should be a unit vector.
Vector3f dir = v2.subtractLocal(v1).normalizeLocal();
return dir;
}
hope this helps~gtg to get some subway!!! :D
@neakor: But he is allocating a new Vector in that function… the only real difference is that you are allocating twice, and that is not necessary. Also, you normalize, and I am not sure this is intended.

he allocates a new vector to return, but when u do b.x - a.x, u still modify the x coordinate of b.
i had a similar problem b4, and i solved it by using clone which wont modify the original vector at all.
actually, b.x - a.x does not modify either vector. These are just floats.
This is another way that works without modifying a or b.
public Vector3f getDirection(Vector3f a, Vector3f b){
Vector3f vec = new Vector3f(b);
vec.subtractLocal(a);
return vec;
}
here's the rest
i'll try out the helpful comments when i have time… well here's the code

Ok, I finally got your program to compile and run, but now I don't quite understand what you mean by charge, I do not see any camera flickering while moving.
//if ((ooga.getModel() != null) &&(timer.getTimeInSeconds()>10)) ooga.chargeTo(myChar, gametime);
oops sorry 
comment out the line above i think i commented to play with something else once you remove the comment marks, it should start the crazy camera movement
Ok, it does… I will check it out!
You probably don't want to hear this 
but here it goes anyway:
public Vector3f getDirection(Vector3f a, Vector3f b)
{
Vector3f vec = new Vector3f();
vec.x = b.x - a.x;
vec.y = b.y - a.y;
vec.z = b.z = a.z;
return vec;
}
This function is WRONG in a very peculiar way... The line before the return has an equals instead of a minus. 8)
That gets rid of the flickering... but the model still does not move :|
I also got rid of the lines:
float camMinHeight = page.getHeight(cam.getLocation()) + 2f;
if (!Float.isInfinite(camMinHeight) && !Float.isNaN(camMinHeight) && cam.getLocation().y <= camMinHeight)
{
cam.getLocation().y = camMinHeight;
cam.update();
}
float characterMinHeight = page.getHeight(myChar.getLocalTranslation())+((BoundingBox)myChar.getWorldBound()).yExtent;
if (!Float.isInfinite(characterMinHeight) && !Float.isNaN(characterMinHeight))
{
myChar.getLocalTranslation().y = characterMinHeight + shift;
myChar.setLocalRotation(quickRotation(-45, new Vector3f(0,1,0)));
}
Because they messed with the chasing camera. Good luck.
oh lol. Leave it to me to make some really juvinille mistake and waste someone else's time solving it lol! thank you so much for helping a fairly confuzzled newbie i'll be sure to play a bit more with it and post my results Maybe one day, when i get better at this i'll make a tutorial for everbody

Glad to hear that. Keep it up, and don't feel bad... It happens to everybody. :P Just one week ago I was still a n00b in these forums, and now I am on my way to a Sr. Member XD (granted this is only related to the number of posts, but I like to think it means something else ;))

Under risks of going way off-topic: Just trying to do my part XD My motto has always been:
Learn from everybody else's mistakes... you don't have enough time to make them all.
The best way to do this is by means of this forum :D
