Cool thread

1- dbScaleObject()
2- position the object at camera position, and set it's rotation to the camera rotation, and then offset it to fir anywhere you like

you must use dbLockObjectOn no? so it will always stay there.

Make sure your thread title is appropriate, as people wont be able to find your thread using the search facility as that only looks in the subjects of each thread.

and dbScaleObject uses percentages, not units. To make an object twice as big, you would write: dbScaleObject( id, 200, 200, 200 );

define move. if it is the camera, just position the object behind you when you move. are you new to programming? the mark of a good programmer is figuring out how to do new things with what he/she already has. try looking in the "vectors" part of the help file (*where you installed it*\darkgdk\help\docs i think is where the file is). read through this to get a sense of what dgdk can do.

-to the optimist, the glass is half full. to the pessimist, it is half empty, to the engineer, it is twice as big as it needs to be.

you can use waypoints if you dont want him to look stupid and just run behind you passing line of sight and stuff, but if you want simple following, you can just point the follower to the thing that it follows ( dbPointObject () ) and dbMoveObject () to move it toward the object that it follows
