Need help with a First Person Camera using the Arrow Keys!

NOTE: Normally I'd try to limit my help posts to one per page, but this is really annoying.

Ok, heres the deal: I want a trigger where when you use a dummy ability called Look, it sends you into a first person view. And then it gives you an ability called Normal which sends you back to the locked 3rd person view.

I already have everything down with the dummy abilities and so, but I can't seem to get first person view right! It always jumps, or doesn't move at all, and is NEVER smooth. This is the trigger I have for each direction (up down left and right):

Code:

Up On
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) Presses the Up Arrow key
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set LookUp = True

Up Off
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) Releases the Up Arrow key
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set LookUp = False

Up
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
        LookUp Equal to True
        LookDown Equal to False
    Actions
        Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Angle of attack to ((Angle of attack of the current camera view) + 0.10) over 0.20 seconds

Why isn't it working right?

Deathperception	Why not just go into the repository theres a completed camera system already posted there. You may be able to pick it apart and learn from it.

johnfn	This is probably because of slow detection of the key being pressed, but I dont know. How exactly does it 'jump', is it a quick small skipping or does it jump all the way up?

Scyze	It's a big jump, like halfway from looking down to looking up.
