SOLUTION FOR CONTROLLER SUPPORT IN BL: "Build Mode"
Legodude77:
So there are lots of people saying that controllers won't work very well with Blockland. I have a solution that would probably be best for it (and everyone else actually). A "build" mode should be introduced to the game. When this mode is activated, the camera is locked onto your ghost brick. You would then be able to rotate, zoom, or pan your camera AROUND THE GHOST BRICK. You can still open the brick menu normally in this mode. With this system, since that you don't have to move your player to look around, it can be easily given controller key-binds. Then when you are done building you can just switch back to normal mode.

Switch cameras between building and (moving/using tools/etc.) and using orb (if you have admin or you can orb)?

This system would work with anyone, regardless of your admin status (though if you don't have admin you shouldn't be able to pan the camera or something). And it would make building with a controller easier.

This idea is amazing. And totally possible with a client addon. And controller support could also be a client addon. This is perfect.

I thought camera stuff needed to be server sided?
