Hello,
i am programming with DBP for a few days. I have made a matrix and a box on the matrix. The player can walk through pushing wasd and look around with the mouse. My problem is that I want to make a box at the front of the player. If you look around with the mouse the box should be still at the front. But if I programming that the box is only rorating at the own axes. Is there a mathematical formula or something ?

You can position the box at x,y,z of your player, and then move the box slightly in front of the player then yrotate the box the same angle as your player y angle.

position object my_box,object position x(player),object position y(player),object position z(player)
yrotate object my_box,object angle y(player):move object my_box,10


Cheers.

When you get more experienced, look into the help files for NewXValue, NewYValue & NewZValue commands. Obviously Chafari's code is all you need, but these more advanced solutions are an important stepping stone into handling situations that you will face in the future.
