Dark GDK / dbMakeObject messes up my Z-axis

Hello everyone!

I've run into a problem. I'm trying to make a game and I spawn four objects right now. The first three are fine and spawn on XYZ 0,0,0. When I do dbMakeObjectSphere for the forth one, it still creates it, but it shifts my whole Z-axis by 50 points. So if previously the origin would be 0,0,0 now it becomes 0,0,-50. I use a rectangle box for the floor, so I don't know if that might be fixed with an actual Terrain or a World. Any ideas how to hardcode my axis or a way around this?

Code:
Main:


Hero Bullet:

I don't see an dbAutoCamOff() in there anywhere, so I would guess that the camera is simply being repositioned to view the newly created object.

Hey IanM,

Putting dbAutoCamOff() did not help.

I'm using this code to convert my screen mouse positions into 3d XYZ coordinates. Is that correct?


How does pickVector and dbPickObject work? Maybe I'm messing them up some how?

Thanks.

I fixed my problem!

It was actually really simple.

When I was using the dbCameraPositionX() and dbCameraPositionZ() functions, they were getting the value of the origianl camera rather then my new camera 1. So a fix was basicly replacing dbCameraPositionX() with dbCameraPositionX(1) !!!

YAY!
