Hi, I Have made a terrian and I want to cover it with object like circles and simple stuff. So far I have the objects in random places over the terrian but they are all floating in the air. Can someone please tell me how to position them directly above the terrian? Thanks

when you position an object in DB it positions from the centre - at least i think this is the case - e.g.


you can correct this by changing the last statement to

This same principle of passing half the vertical height into the dbPositionObject() fn, will work for almost all objects. At least I think it does.
Happy coding!
[edit]
wait that didn't answer the question did it
are you using a terrain or a matrix?
for terrain use:

for a matrix use:

x, z are the position variables of the object you wish to place at ground height
