For a start, MouseZ is your Mouse Wheel so that could mess things up big time.

I don't use DBPro, but wouldn't this create an array with 100 elements? So something like "noofentsneeded = 100" would be right. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Oh, and it won't work exactly, in 3D Space 0,0,0 is the very center of the screen whereas 0,0 in 2D is the top left so you'd need a lot of working around. Apart from those things, you'd also be making 100 cubes, I'm not sure if you want that so now you know.

yea it makes 100 cubes for a reason as im just experimenting with some
things the array is correct

im thinking of changeing the mouse pointer for an object so i can select objects and move them about with the mouse
but... it doesnt work in DBPro like it used to in DBC.

But i think i now wot i did rong as i it only creates 1 i.e. the "noofentsneeded" bit damn how sily am i....

noofentsneeded = 1

doh!!!!!!!!
