I'm making a simple space sim but I'm having trouble with the shooting. Basically I want the bullet to always be infront of the camera until it is fired. I tried using this -



but that doesn't work at all. Is there any other way to do this without using that command?

You could call dbPositionObject and use dbRotateObject or dbPointObject (or I think dbSetObjectToCameraOrientation() could be used to set an object to the camera orientation, to avoid the maths but I dont know how or if that command works so you would need to experiment with it) and pass them the camera's position and look angles and then add/subtract a small amount although you would need to apply some maths to make it stay infront of the camera if the camera wasnt looking ahead level.

If it ain't broke.... DONT FIX IT !!!
