exactly what I was going to say. As well as for the offsets, you cam simply do something like this:

Code:

---

ACTION Gun
{
    ...
    proc_late();
    while(1)
    {
        ...
        temp.x = 50;
        temp.y = 0;
        temp.z = -20;
        vec_rotate(temp, camera.pan);
        vec_set(my.x, temp);
        vec_set(my.pan, camera.pan);
        ...
        wait(1);
    }
}

"
Use level entities and the following flags:
- passable, so the weapon does not block the player's movement
- znear, so the weapon does not get into walls or anything similar
"
Hi Xarthor ,
Freddy need help with Shading (lighting) ?
will passable objects solve that problem ? ;-)

Thanks

Passable flag will not affect shading. It's simply for collision.

znear draws the entity above geometry and other entities (as if it were a view entity). This can only be set through script.

The code above will simply position the entity relative to the view (as a view entity does automatically. You'll have to adjust the temp offset though

oh..ok

so lets try to do that.

Thank you!
I used the code to place the gun and an invisible entity-light next to
it. This is how it looks:

I made the gun very small and close
to the camera to avoid getting into a wall.
Than I tried znear. That`s even better.
Thanks!

nice..

happy to hear..that your problem is solved. !

Thanks

Ha, no problem. Well actually, there is. I forgot to add a line that gives the gun the same angle as the camera

I fixed it in my above post (highlighted in red). Sorry about that...
