I am trying to accomplish the following

I have three objects (Vase, Apple, cup) that I wish to place on another object (Tray) so that when the tray moves they stay on the tray.

I have been trying to understand the limb commands but, they only appear to relate to meshes.
What is the simplest approach to accomplish the effect I described.

Best bet is to 'glue them'

+ Code Snippet

sync on : sync rate 0 : autocam off

make object cube 1,5
make object sphere 2,5
make object plain 3,20,10

position object 1,0,0,10
position object 2,0,0,10

rem glue object 1 (cube) to object 3 (tray)
glue object to limb 1,3,0

rem glue object 2 (sphere) to object 1 (cube)
glue object to limb 2,1,0

position camera 0,0,-50

do
   roll object left 3,0.5
   turn object right 3,0.5
   sync
loop

This allows you to 'glue' an object to a specified limb on another object (limb 0 is main limb)

Warning! The online help is correct but the status bar help for the command has the parameters wrong way round.

Also note that collision on glued objects is a bit iffy - see bugs forum for details.

If your mansion house needs haunting, just call Rentaghost!

Thanks Spooky I was getting confused with the limb number.

Your example should be added to the code base it is very clear

I added an additional line to show how the limbs are independent of the main object

+ Code Snippet

sync on : sync rate 0 : autocam off

make object cube 1,5
make object sphere 2,5
make object plain 3,20,10

position object 1,0,0,10
position object 2,0,0,10

rem glue object 1 (cube) to object 3 (tray)
glue object to limb 1,3,0

rem glue object 2 (sphere) to object 1 (cube)
glue object to limb 2,1,0

position camera 0,0,-50

do
   roll object left 3,0.5
   turn object right 3,0.5
   turn object left 1,1
   sync
loop
