I am trying to draw lines for bullets and I am wondering how to convert a 3D coordent into a 2D coordent. The reason why I shouldn't use the object screen x/objects screen y is because i am drawing lines for bullets to add a cool effect and i can't have too many objects on each object, by the way, it is in DBPro

cheers,
Colin

Be happy, tomorrow is another day

try experimenting with these commands:

object in screen(object number) will return a 1 if the specified object appears on the screen

object screen x(object number) will return the x coordinate of an object on the screen(object doesn't need to be an the screen, will still get a value)

object screen y(object number)
