First of all, this is one of my first projects.

I would like to convert my crosshair's position to 3d, so I would have Box, let's say object number 4, always at the middle of the screen ( where my crosshair is pointing. ). And if possible it should follow even if I turn my camera.

I have triend couple codes that I found from the forums but didn't manage to convert them to fit my needs. Im asking if someone could do it for me becouse I couldn't figure it out myself. thanks <3

and oh yeah, sorry for my bad english, hope you undertood what I ment

If the cross hair is always in the center of the screen, and you're certain positioning a box at it is what you need, just position the box at the user/cams position, rotate the box to the user/cams rotation, and move the box forward the required distance.

Here's a function to hel you out;



Object1 is the object to be positioned at the reticule (the box), object 2 would most likely be your character, and Distance# is the distance you want Object1 to be infront of Object2.

If you dont have a player object but rather a camera, replace the OBJECT POSITION() and OBJECT ANGLE() commands with CAMERA POSITION() and CAMERA ANGLE() commands.
