Hi All

what am I doing wrong with this code, I want the second sphere stuck half in half out of the first sphere,

like half cheery on top of icecream ball.

+ Code Snippet

Rem ***** Main Source File *****
rem Standard Setup Code
sync on : sync rate 0 :
color backdrop rgb(0,0,128) :rem hide mouse
set text font "arial" : set text size 12 : set text transparent
rem Set Camera
autocam off
set camera range 1,10000
position camera 0,0,-200
point camera 0,0,0
set point light 0,0,300,0

make object sphere 1,100
COLOR OBJECT 1,RGB(0,255,0)


make object sphere 2,10
COLOR OBJECT 2, RGB(0,0,255)


GLUE OBJECT TO LIMB 2,1,0

POSITION OBJECT 1, 10, 10,0
`position object 2, 20,20,0
do
ROTATE limb 1,0,0, wrapvalue(360)+.5 , 0

Gack! You may want to avoid using Glue Object to Limb. Other than the visual of the object being attached to the limb, it's really not much use. Why? Because the object is not really there (or even virtually there

). The object is still in the position it last was in; usually 0,0,0. This is where the collision is. This is where the Object Position X/Y/Z() will return. Everything but the image. Okay - so if you only want the image, Glue Object will work.

Alternates to Glue Object.
1) Add the object on as a limb. You can even link it to a parent limb if needed.
2) Position the object manually at the limb coordinates (with an offset if you like). DB can easily handle this speed-wise.

I was meaning keeping what it was doing, putting four spheres on the screen at the same time but more stable, just looks as if it could have been a quick way of putting more sphere on the screen at once.

No worrys if not possable just thought it would have been a quick but dirty way of doing something.
