I have an object that behaves like an aircraft using PITCH and ROLL commands for control. I now want to offset an object from my aircraft, but it also needs to move with my aircraft when it rotates so it appears to be in a fixed position.

Has anyone actually done this and got it to work because i would love to know how, as I am really stuck with this? Code would really help too!

Tanks

Lookup 'glue object to limb' in the help

I did something similar just the other day, i did it like this

position object 99,object position x(101),object position y(101),object position z(101)
set object to object orientation 99,101
turn object left 99,90
move object 99,30
turn object right 99,90

this places the missile or whatever in the same place and direction as the aircraft with a slight offset, you will have to sort out the offset yourself by trial and error.
