point object definitley works, or most of my code has never run and I just imagined it, I use point object all the time, for a guess you have some assumption in the code that is wrong, the CPU speed and Video card on your PC will run DB fine, I have ran DB (slowly) on worse machines, try this snippet
make object cube 1,1
x=y=z=0
do
if spacekey()
x=100-rnd(200)
y=100-rnd(200)
z=100-rnd(200)
endif
point object 1,x,y,z
loop
that will point the object somewhere every time you press space, since the loop is unchecked then as long as space is held the object will keep pointing to a new position until you release it.
