I am making a first person shooter, and I need to find a way to keep the weapon in the bottum right corner of the screen, no matter what direction your facing. Iv'e tried locking the object to the screen, but then you could see objects through the gun. Also I would like to know if anyone could help me with making the weapon bob as you walk
or side step like in quake.

lock object on should work just fine, and you can still move objects that are locked on. Lock on simply means they are always on top of everything else. What do you mean by "see the objects through the gun"

when you lock an object onscreen... for reasons that illude me completely, every 2nd limb will becomes inside out. Completely insane and has been a continued bug into DBpro, you'll have to take note manually of when this happens and setup a file to -100 scale limbs on XYZ.

It'll fixx the problem quite happily, really stupid solution but ya know what they say -
Stupid solution to a simple problem isn't stupid

Ya thats also good ... but i think there is a big problem with the Zbuffer within DarkBasic - never had much luck with objects staying normal hehee

that method wont work well with a imported object.
some facets appear reveresed as veg mentions above.
use a limb its the less problematic way.

Does the make mesh from object keep the same texture coords?
Never messed with it.
If so you could try if the same bug happens or not.
