That might be, because the camera is repositioning its self when you create the object at a distance in wich you can see all the object.

The command to unable the camera to do that is AUTOCAM OFF . Try it out. Remember that in this way you will have to position the camera so to see the object as however you wish.

You gave up in 1 day. You might as well just give up the language with that attitude.

You cant blame us for your lack of skill.

The reason it doesn't look "big enough" is because the camera is probably being repositioned to a position proportionate to the size of the object. Place the camera closer to the object and it'll appear bigger.

Remember that an object will appear a different size depending on the distance from the camera, just like in real life.

I agree, something like FPSC is more suited to the kind of person that wasn't want to make any effort.

I gave up after 4 hours of no progress.

I did that and it didn't work either, see this code sniplet for proof:

So you gave up in less then a day. Thats even worse. Try 3d gamemaker or FPSC.

Problem with them is they are limited to 1 type of game gnere.

FPS Creator - First Person Shooter

3D Game Creator - Adventure/Doom Type

Also i heard 3D Game Creator bombed as it was so limiting, everyones game pretty much looked the same, 1 level per exe, limited graphics support etc. I do want to continue using DBP but, i can't seem to come to graps with it like i did with java.

Well first off i need to say sorry for being so rude.

Follow some tutorials you cant just jump right in the middle of everything. Your learning a language. Its like learning english you have to know how to put sentences together.

Be active on the board read peoples mistakes and how they fixed them. You will learn alot from other mistakes that poeple have made.

Thats ok, i think if i can figure our how to move the camera as stated, then everything will turn out good. Heres the code i used:



Still the ground looks small. I can't seem to figure out my camera problem.

You made a camera. You don't need to make a new one. Just use camera 0, cuz DBP starts with camera 0 by default.
