you mean lock your character to your Camera.
Loom in the information thing.

It is something like dbLockObjectOn (); this makes the object glued where it is to the screen.

Other than that-- No idead Something like dbLockObjectToobjectOrientation ();

you have to position the object first before you lock the object--

dbPositionObject ( 1, 12.0f, 2.0f, -5.0f );

dbLockobjectOn ( 1 );

Or else it will not be visible. So position it the way you want to THEN do lock object On.

Good luck

If you're new to C++/DarkGDK, I suggest you try a 2D game. There's a lot more math involved in a 3D game.

If you can do any models for FW, reply to the FleetWars thread.

Here is a quick way to figure it out--

make a new project
before the mainloop, add dbMakeObjectBox ( 1, 1.0f, 1.0f );
Before the mainloop, also add dbPositionObject ( 1, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f );
In the mainloop, add dbLockObjectOn ( 1 );
Also add dbControlCameraUsingArrowKeys ( 0, 1.0f, 1.0f );

That should work.
