skysphere moving

Every loop at the end I have:

PositionEntity skybox,EntityX(current_camera,1),EntityY(current_camera,1),EntityZ(current_camera,1),1

which works fine except when the ship collides with something, the skybox moves, spoiling the whole effect.

The skysphere is 2 units big

I parent the skybox to the camera, then reset the orientation each update:

RotateEntity skyBox,0,0,0,True

Good tip Gfk, I never thought of that.

Slenkar, make sure to move after UpdateWorld. Collision results aren't handled until UpdateWorld is called.
