I am trying to make a fps but so far i have been stumped on how to,once the gun has been loaded to make it follow the camera in such a way it is always in front of it in the players view. Does anyone know how once you have loaded the object you could do this?

You can use the dbLockObjectOn( ObjNum ); function.

From the GDK help files:

Quote: "
dbLockObjectOn

This command will lock the specified 3D object to the screen. Locking objects to the screen commands the object to completely ignore the camera's influence. A locked object will be positioned as though the camera had never been altered from its default orientation. To make locked objects visible, simply set the Z position to a significant positive value.

Syntax

void dbLockObjectOn ( int iObject ) "

All you need to do is dbpositionObject( ObjNum, NewXValue, dbObjectPositionY( ObjNum ), dbObjectPositionZ( ObjNum ) );
