I still have not been able to position A weapon model with arms so that it is always in front of the camera. Can someone provide code samples

it was once said that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could re-produce the works of shakespear...
Now thanks to the internet we know that that is not true

Try this. It should create a box in front of the screen, where a gun would be.

If you wanna import a weapon model, use dbLoadObject instead of MakeObject

If you want something to be always in front of the camera try this


And you put that in your main loop of course. That is saying "always position object 2 (reconfigure as necessary) in from of the camera"

No offence to DnB, but don't use his code. This would mess up as soon the the camera turned. Use this instead:

Also that code will move the gun directly in front of the camera. If you want it to be positioned lower or to the side use dbMoveObjectRight()/Left()/Down() etc. as well.

you're right, I forgot that line. Silly old me. But of course I was sort of assuming that since its FPS you'd already set the rotation to that of the camera.
