hi guys, i am developing a game and here is my problem,

may space ship needs a flame for its booster, i made a 3d billboard for that (image is from tobi453 from his star wars game), but my big problem is positioning the billboard WHEN THE SHIP IS ROTATED in X angle.

Is there a code that would automatically bind the two objects together? is this process possible??

1. position ship
2. position billboard
3. bind ship and billboard position
4. moving ship automatically moves the flame


well if there is no other way, i have my backup plan, math functions.

Yeah, that would work if the model had limbs. if it does, then that is the command to use.

But since every object in GDK has a limb, be it limb 0 or upward he won't have any problems .
