I am looking to move an object along a horizontal plain. I can use the pick screen command to set the x position of the object; however, I want to use the mouse movement in the y to set the distance in the pick screen command. The idea is to use the mouse movement in the x and mouse movement in the y to set the object's x and z. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Could't you just set the y mouse movement in a variable then set the z to equal the variable?

Try using the move object command with the mouse movement. For example, use mousemovex() to side step the object and mousemovey() to move the object backward and forward.

Yes, but I want the mouse pointer to track the object. In other words, I want the object to always be behind the mouse pointer.
