trying to get my camera to be able to accept rotations...
this is what i currently have:
Hmm... What exactly are you trying to do? If you want to freely rotate your camera, then don''t use D3DXMatrixLookAtLH. That function takes the eye point (Where the camera is) and a look-at point (What the camera is looking at) and computes the View matrix based on those points.
Your code is setting the camera''s current position in world space based on a rotation matrix.
Now, if you would like to compute the base View matrix by using look at lh, Do that then freely rotate the camera by multiplying it by a rotation matrix afterwards, like this:
D3DXMATRIX View, Build;
D3DXMatrixLookAtLH(&View , &At, &Eye, &Up);
D3DXMatrixRotationYawPitchRoll(&Build, rx, ry, rz);
View *= Build;
If this is not what you are looking for either, then reply with a clearer description of what you''re trying to do.

yeah i want free cam,
is this what u meant with ur description:
because that dont work either :-/

Why don't you try quaternions?
EDIT: If you're wanting a free cam, then you might want to consider quaternions. If not it will be gimble lock city.
BTW - It looks like you're using DirectX9. It's the same for DirectX9 just change the D3DXMATRIX to D3DXMATRIXA16.

why is everybody trying to make people believe that quaternions are the only working solution? theres more than just euler angles and quaternions and the only real good reason for quaternions are interpolating rotations or maybe having 7 instead of 9 floats to store an orientation.
no, euler angles wont work correctly but neither will quaternions if he still tries to just update 3 angles and build the correct quat from them. the problem isnt vectors or quats but not loosing the order in which you rotate.
also, multiplying a matrix built with lookat and one with yawpitch.. shouldnt work. one is an inverted matrix (for view) and the other is "normal" (for transformation).
why dont you just forget about lookat, insert the position in the matrix from yaw... and invert it (if the general version coming with dx isnt optimized to handle this special and easy case just check what lookat does to inverse it and do the same yourself).
still, storing three angles and doing stuff like anglex+=3 when turning left wont get you far.

well, lets assume im using good ''ol rotations,
everything i''ve tried hasnt worked, any suggestions why?

directx is making it quite easy with its seperate view matrix. just keep a camera matrix, apply transformations to it like to any other object and invert it before setting it as view matrix.
edit: if i remember that right they are in global space so you might want to make sure you rotate around the right axis (the cameras axes, not the world axes). i wouldnt be surprised if just switching the matrices around will have the same effect.
