Hi, in my game i wish animated sprites appear in the certain x,y,z position.
But how to do this? There is command "paste sprite" with only x,y coordinates...

Sprites are a 2D artefact, not a 3D one.

You need a plain textured with an animated image.

Use a plain. Size the plain proportional to the sprite (ex. image size 211x413, plain size 21.1x41.3 or similar), texture your plain with the image used for the sprite (making sure to set object transparency for the alpha channel), and then position the plain at XYZ.

That's how I'd do it. There's another thread in one of the DBPro forums where someone is trying to use sprites and 3D, check that out too. But I wouldn't mix sprites and 3D unless you are using the sprites to make a HUD.
