K... so I use the follow command..

p\mesh[2] = LoadMesh(pak("meshes/mp5.3DS",camera))

However when I try to compile/debug.. it claims it has too many parameters.. and I know that it has to with "camera" however I need that mesh to be the camera's child.

Any help?

So close.

Try

p\mesh[2] = LoadMesh(pak("meshes/mp5.3DS"),camera)

Assuming your Pakmaker code is correct (I didn't look), you had the bracket in the wrong spot.

Thank you very much sir!! It works.. :D

So it has to be outside the brackets.. Okay..

LoadMesh has two possible parameters- filename$ and parent (parent being optional) - and is called with

LoadMesh ( filename$, parent )

In your case, the "filename" was pak("meshes/mp5.3DS"), so you need to remember to keep the LoadMesh format right by keeping the parentheses/brackets in the right places.

What you were doing was making your "filename" be pak("meshes/mp5.3DS",camera) which was fine as far as LoadMesh was concerned, but confusing for the pak() function which was only expecting one parameter, but actually got two. :o)

Hence the error about "too many parameters".
