I can\'t seem to find why my logic isn\'t working, I\'m sure it\'s something really simple that I\'m just overlooking. But I have programmed it so that when the user moves around, the shotgun that I have loaded should follow the camera?

relevant code:



Any help would be greatly appreciated

are you positioning it and rotating it in your main loop?

Load the object outside your main loop.... then update it's position in the loop....

In your function, those assignments of camera position and object postion are static, once they are made, thats what they are till its assigned again. I mean, telling an object to position itself somewhere, means it will be positioned at that spot until its told specifically to move somewhere else, even if you pass it something like camera position, it will just take the current position, it wont update like I think you are expecting.

If it ain't broke.... DONT FIX IT !!!

No,

Positioning it at the camera then locking it would make it stay at the camera, that's what the documentation says, and it doesn't matter anyway now because I have fixed it.

locking it just makes it stay on the cameras view, if you want ot animate it all, you need to put it in your main loop and load it outside the loop.
