Here's a snippet adapted from the snowboarding example by Phaelax that TDK found on the Code Snippets board.
Gosub Setup

length#=((rear_left_height#-front_left_height#)+(rear_right_height#-front_right_height#))/0.6

Setup:
set display mode 800,600,32
sync on
autocam off
hide mouse
backdrop on
color backdrop 0
Rem Matrix
make matrix 1,5000,5000,50,50
Randomize Matrix 1,55
update matrix 1
Rem Objects
make object box 1,4,2,8
color object 1, RGB(255,0,0)
make object cube 6, 1
glue object to limb 1,6,0
x#=100.0: z#=100.0
a#=get ground height(1,dx#,dz#)+1.0
Return
But I don`t know how you do that with objects. If you find out, could you post some code?
