Can I use 2d drawing commands with 3d objects already used?

See code for example

I want to draw a console around the screen for my space shooter game.

Thanks

if you're using DBPro try,

make object sphere 101,10

do
position object 101, 10,10,100
line 10,10,100,100
loop



Im willing to find out what impossible means.

Hmm... is that the only way? Or should I use bitmaps for consoles and reticules? The lines seem to blink a lot, I'm guessing that "make object" includes a refresh or something.

You've got it Yer I'd recommend using bitmaps or other image files to create the HUD for your game. Not sure bout DBClassic but in pro;

set image colorkey 0,0,0

will set the parts of the loaded images that are (0,0,0) to transparent...

In Classic, it's also possible to make the HUD images into sprites which will lay on top of the 3D display unless you set the draw sprites first command. With sprites, you can draw, print, etc. to them then capture the result as an image and paste it to the sprite for the HUD.

Any truly great code should be indisguishable from magic.
