Hi, I need a little code example help here please. I have a 3d spaceship that I am viewing from above and I can rotate it (on a single axis)left and right (like the ship from asteroids) and that works great. I am now wondering how to do a linepick from the front of the object out to say 50 units no matter how the ship is rotated to check for objects in its direct path. Thanks!

This will work ... tformvector 0,0,50,myship, 0 Picked = linepick entityx( ship ) , entityy( ship ) , entityz( ship ) , tformedx(), tformedy(), tformedz() Stevie
