Please search the forums & documentation next time

Distance formula: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=70128&b=22

Then use the dbPointObject function with the cameras positions

I belive this would find the position of the camera and object.

float fCamera = dbCameraPosition ( );
float fObject = dbObjectPosition ( 1 );

NOPE

There is no such function as dbCameraPosition();

You need to use the distance formula with X,Y,Z coordinates.

Using the camera positions functions dbCameraPositionX(),dbCameraPositionY(),dbCameraPositionZ()

and the object ones

dbObjectPositionX(1),dbObjectPositionY(1),dbObjectPositionZ(1)
