Got a question. I know if I use the dbObjectScreenX & Y commands I can get the 2d Position of a 3d object on screen. The question how does this work if I got Multiple Cameras, since both objects are the same and they are both on screen at the same time?

this function is part of my library:



Just make sure you #include "d3dx9math.h" first.

This will return a range between 0.0 and 1.0 when inside the screen, you can then multiply it by the screenWith/Height on the .x and .y members of the return vector respectively.

You could also try using dbSetCurrentCamera() - you may need to add in the camera views starting coordinates to the values you get to give you display coordinates instead of camera view coordinates.

Alright, that sounds like what I might be looking for. I will try that to. If that works , then I should be able to make my sub system targeting system a little more friendlier.

Thanks
