I am trying to attach a cube to the camera but every time I do, the cube just dissapears.

the code snippet...

dbMakeObjectCube(21,1);
dbSetObjectCollisionOff(21);
dbPositionObject(21,0,0,0);
dbFixObjectPivot(21);
dbDisableObjectZDepth(21);
dbSetObjectToCameraOrientation(21);
dbPositionObject(21,10,10,0);

when I add the last line, the cube orients itself to the world instead of to the camera... I am obviously doing something wrong, could you help me to see what?

Or make sure to use the commands during runtime and not before.

I'd also suggest you use a constant to replace 21, as it may make perfect sense now, but will be impossible to know a few thousand lines from now what the hell 21 is.

So:
const int Object = 21;

dbSetObjectToCameraOrientation( Object );
dbPositionObject( Object , dbCameraPositionX(), dbCameraPositionY(), dbCameraPositionZ() );


I wrote this without reference. You might have to add a "0" to the camera functions.

Both of the commands, not just the positioning. Especially if the position of the camera will change during runtime.
