This is a VERY small piece of code inspired by this:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=LBYoYsFgmBg

+ Code Snippet

color backdrop 0
backdrop on
autocam off
sync on
sync rate 60
do
rotate camera camera angle x()+mousemovey(),camera angle y()+mousemovex(),camera angle z()
if mouseclick()=1 then move camera 1 : glowline(camera position x(),camera position y(),camera position z())
if mouseclick()=2 then move camera -1
sync
loop
function glowline(xx,yy,zz)
for x=0 to 2
repeat : inc obj : until object exist(obj)=0
make object sphere obj,3+x
position object obj,xx,yy,zz
ghost object on obj
color object obj,RGB(0,0,255)
next x
endfunction

I don't know. i made it in dbpro, and as you get a syntax error, i think it might be dbpro-only, which line errored on you?

line 8 is the problem for me, it tells me 'function call does not the same as function declaration'.

I don't know the problem then, maybe DBC doesn't like functions?

Just tried this out, very cool effect with so few lines of code. The thing freaked me out though because every time I turned around it got longer.
