hi

can some 1 help us with creating multiple instances of a 3D object.

i got a 3D alien ship and i want to make em randomly fall down the screen from different locations at the top.

i'm having problems when it comes to loading multiple objects of the same file.

this is code i thought might work but throws up and error.


now before u say its wrong. i know it is or it wouldn't throw up an error like it is.

i know there was a post on here somewhere that said how to do but i can't find it and the search function isn't much help.

thanx for any help on the subject

To save memory, you could use "instance object".

i sused the problem out.

for some reason it doesn't like arrays. but now i lost the players ship yet again. it like it can't draw more than 2 3D objects at one time.

i'm learning 3D as i go coz i'm wanting to challenge myself to do something new and interesting.

i'll post the code. i put some remarks to help u out. so read the top of the code to find out more.

i found out y they vanished.

they were outside the camera. even though i used autocam off, when i added another object it reset itself so i had to move things about a bit.

if i get this done i'll sort it out into a kind of 3D shoot-em-up engine for any1 wanting it.
