Hi all.
When my game wasn’t online, I used cam.getLocation().add(cam.getDirection().normalize().mult(0.5f + bomb.getRadius())); for display a new bomb front of the player, but there “cam” has sense.
In a multiplayer game, cam has no sense, so can I use characterControl.getViewDirection???
cam.getDirection == characterControl.getViewDirection ???
thanks 
Well, I’ve used something to make a character walk around and having the camera follow it. The controls are WASD where w and s are for moving forward and backward and s and d are for turning around the character. To get the direction in which the character is pointing I’ve used this function:
playerNode.getLocalRotation().getRotationColumn(2).clone()
full code of what I mean is this:
[java]
walkDirection.set(0, 0, 0);
Vector3f camDir = playerNode.getLocalRotation().getRotationColumn(2).clone().mult(0.3f);
if (left) { playerNode.rotate(0,0.02f,0) ;}
if (right) { playerNode.rotate(0,-0.02f,0) ;}
if (up) { walkDirection.addLocal(camDir.negate()); }
if (down) { walkDirection.addLocal(camDir); }
player.setWalkDirection(walkDirection);
[/java]
This is based on the default first person code.
So I hope you can use the same function to get the direction based on the character.
