so i tried to create enemies which use the same mesh, have different objectID's, scaled to a decent size are positioned in random locations, and are added to a dynamic array of Enemy objects. For some reason, they aren't showing up anywhere.

here's what I'm doing:



the i + 5 is used because objects 1 through 4 are used already and I wanted to be able to use i to index the dynamic array..

any ideas as to what's wrong?

what more do you want? this is all the code there is. the function is called before the main game loop.

It looks like there may be 2 possibilities (without having the models to try out).

1)"dbScaleObject(i+5,5,5,5);" you are shrinking the models to 5% of their model size.
Are you sure the models are not becoming too small to view?

2)"dbPositionObject(i+5, i + rndX , 0, i + rndZ);" You are placing the models 0,0,0 point at a height of adsolute "0".
Are you sure the models are actually above the height of the ground mesh so that you can actually see them ?
