It seems like you are extending an fps in the examples folder called "monster hunt".

Your code tells us NOTHING at all. There aren't any objects created or checked in any of your code you posted. Did you create a matrix? Do all decoration objects exist? Did you think you could extend those pillars and make more of them?

Please post ALL of your code so we can help you.

you get the "object does not exist" when you preform an action on an object that, well, doesn't exist. Most often caused by mass object handling where the object number is a variable and it "overshoots" the amount of objects.
Sadly DBC doesn't always give the correct line number. The faulty code should be around that line though.

- check your OBJECT handeling codes, placing "rem" in front of certain bits of code works well.
- like TheComet says, post your code so we can have a looksey

(I'm getting caught in a loop here... )

Oh, and check the lines immediately before you put in a call to "DecoCollide(X#,Y#,Z#)". If DBC triggers an error, it can take a few lines of code to register - which could occur when the code is partway through your function. Alternatively, if you use the result "Collide" as a part of a command to reposition an object, that command could be triggerring the error, but DBC reports it as a problem in the function.

The function is itself sound and shouldn't give any trouble - provided, of course, that you're certain matrix 1 is 8000x8000 units across.
