well, you can make the water by making a large plain and texturing it and ghosting it. you can make sky by making a huge sphere, turning it inside out with the CULL thing and texturing it. BTW, did you figure out that matrix collision thing in Magicworld, i don't get, it won't work.

if me in trouble() and 1=1 then print "but"

yosepp is right, look at help for the 'SET OBJECT' command.

creat a HUGE sphere and texture it with a nice sky texture, then use SET OBJECT on it

the CULL flag tells the object to show hidden surfaces. Usually when you are 'inside' an object, the insides are not textured by DB as they are not normally seen. CULL over-rides this.

Also play the LIGHT parameters to stop the sphere reacting to light sources. Sphere would look dark otherwise as it is far away.

The other trick is to move the sphere to your camera position during main game loop. This stops you approaching edge of sphere. Another nice effect is to rotate the sky slowly in game loop.

i tend to make the plains first 2 objects i make in a magic world map 1 at sealevel and one .5 below, bothe textured and then animate them in diferent directions in the main loop this gives a great water effect. Skies i auto load myself in my program to suit.
