Hi

I am having a wierd problem with loading objects while the game is running. I am trying to figure out if it is my graphics card or my way of doing things that is the problem.

I have no problem with loading objects in the main entry point or with other loading fucitons called at the program's entrypoint. But where I have a problem is when I load objects during the gameloop (e.g. loading new units in a RTS game or bullets in a FPS). I normally have a prototype object (like a bullet) and then I use dbInstanceObject to make a new object (this works fine). The problem comes in when I use dbLoadObject or dbCloneObject. the camera suddenly moves to a diffrent location and some of the other objects rotate in a funny way.

The reason I ask about this is because I need to create animated objects during my game in Real Time and it seems that Instance objects dont carry any animation data.

any ideas about what is going wrong?

dbAutoCamOff ( )

This will prevent automatic positioning of the camera.

dbAutocamOff
This command will deactivate the auto camera. The camera will then no longer reposition when a new object is loaded or created.

brilliant!!!

Thanks ...funny how I always assume the worst case scenario. God bless the manuel.

Thanks. I'll give that a try this afternoon.
