I've got two objects, Object 1 and object Tail(Tail is a variable at the start of the code, with a value of 107). whenever object 1 collides with the point object (Not included in source code) it makes object Tail. Anyways, for some reason tail doesn't move when i use the MOVE OBJECT command or rotate when i use th ROTATE OBJECT command down in the controls section, which is realy irritating. basically when the object tail is made i want it to follow object 1,
But for some reason it doesn't even budge.

Thanks in Advance

Okay...I'm not quite sure what the problem is...but I'll give it a shot. In order, you position the objects, then move them. I think what you're supposed to do is move the object, store the positions in variables(x,y,z), and then position them in those same variables. I think that's the problem with your rotating as well. The objects are pointed, then rotated, rendering the pointing irrelevant. I'm not quite sure how to fix that, though. I apologize if I misinterpreted your code. Hope that helps!
