If LOCK OBJECT suppose to keep the relative distance,position
from the camera, so how come the following plain dissapears when i
add the comand LOCK OBJECT?
Without that command the object is facing the camera when i run the
program...

What is the purpouse of your locking idea. If you want a interface you can use sprites in DPPro. That are allready locked plain objects.

I would like to create a HUD for 3D environment, so i'd prefer
not using sprites.
That code is just a primary test, and i'd like to know
what is the reason for this behaviour.

Try putting the color object command after lock object. Don't know if it works.

Sorry... I meant: Put the color object command BEFORE the lock object command.

Try to lock first and then position the object. Perhaps that helps?

And often the problem is the Z depth. Try asking in the DBc forum. They will know how to lock those objects. I did that too when I onkly had classic, but I don't remeber how to do it anymore Stupid me. It was something with the screen height and width or something like that.

I thought that to lock an object you should put the Z coordinate at a positive value.

So:
position object 200,31,151.5,-148.5 ???

Try:
position object 200,0,0,100

Superbeest,
not working. Tnx, i'll try the other forum.

Kuri,
I positioned the camera at z=-150, and pointed it to a positive value
so locking on -148.5 should work.
beside, when there is no locking, the object is visible...

Tnx, but i still don't understand the behaviour.
look at the code. When i remark the LOCK OBJECT, then the object
is far away (at the screen's bottom) and when i use LOCK then it hides
the whole screen. why? the position hasn't been changed...

It seems to me that with LOCK OBJECT the positioning is relative to the camera
(object z position is 0.5, while camera z position is -250).
