turnCamera3D
Canonical ID: scene3d.turnCamera. Nederlands: draaiCamera3D.
Adds relative camera angles in degrees. At yaw (the left-or-right angle) zero the camera faces -Z; positive yaw turns right, and positive pitch (the up-or-down angle) looks up. Yaw wraps into [0,360); pitch clamps to [-89,89]. Omitting pitch means zero pitch change, so the current pitch is preserved. This changes orientation only and performs no movement.

Arguments
| Parameter | Type | Requirement |

pitch |
Number, optional | Same change bound; default 0. |
Return value
None.
Example
# language: en
clear3D("black")
box3D("target", 1, 1, 1)
position3D("target", 3, 0, 0)
camera3D(0, 0, 0)
turnCamera3D(90)
say aim3D(10)
draw3D()
Prints target after the camera turns toward +X.
Notes and common mistakes
Use the function name for your source language. Its canonical ID is a shared documentation label; you do not type that ID as a call. Giving your own variable or function the same name can hide the built-in. Supply the documented arguments and value types. Pliro reports mismatches when checking can detect them, or when the call runs.
A host is the app or environment running your program. To see a drawing, it needs a renderer, the part that draws on screen. The command-line command pliro run shows text but does not draw these graphics. The host support table explains which effects work in the IDE, browser, native app, and phone preview. A native build reports an unsupported capability instead of leaving it out.
In 3D, +Y points up. Yaw is the left-or-right angle; at zero the camera faces -Z. The world holds at most 256 objects. Changes appear when you call draw3D. An invalid call leaves the world unchanged. Editing requires an existing object name; creating objects and removing an absent name are exceptions. Use the portable color names or hex codes; transparent colors are unavailable here. Version 1 of the phone preview’s communication format does not carry 3D scenes. See the 3D guide for the coordinate rules.
