Things are going well. With my little programing test. Though got a question.

I am trying to get my object to face a specific point (x,y,z) (much pbPointCamera camera command). Don't see a command for that, could be missing it inside the docs. Any pointers?

I think you need to find the angle to the object and then rotate your object.

Google is your Friend! DarkBasic Docs Are your ... Almost Friend.

Header Files are EVIL... there are so many... GREP (Text Searching tools) is kinda annoying... The Built in WINDOWS "Search Assistant" is as useless as the robot animation of a dog or whatever are....

So what should you use to search through all those header files in DarkGDK when you just want to find the word "POINT"?

diskMetaLight (Free) - http://diskmeta.com/en/

Load it, run it, index a directory of choice.. then works like google... Like the Winblows Search Assistant was supposed to.
