Hey guys I'm playing with an idea of creating a game within a game in skyrim. In order to do this I need for the controls to play like a 3rd person action game independent of camera movement. So that the direction of the controller stick is the direction the player character faces and moves.

I have a feeling that this may require the use of trig and some clever scripting around that, however I wanted to get some ideas together from the community about how to achieve this before going down any roads. I haven't worked much with manipulating the camera or controls much before.

Thoughts?

My end goal is to place the camera view in another actor, which I can do, but then have the player control without camera movement so that down on the pad will make the player move and face down screen etc
