Hi guys,

I'm currently working on an RTS game using DarkGDK (C++) and was wondering how I would create individual objects for units.

I've made a reference object and cloned it, but I don't think that's the best way to do it. Along with that, I'm not entirely sure how I would go about creating a new object per click of the mouse.

I have currently got the following:

if ( mouseclicked )
{
MouseY = dbGetTerrainGroundHeight( 1, dbMouseX(), dbMouseY() ) + 10; // Gets the Y co-ordinate which is just above ground height

dbCloneObject( unit, 10 ); // Clone the reference object and create another one with id of "unit" which is 100 to start

dbPositionObject( unit, dbMouseX(), MouseY, dbMouseY() ); // This is currently spawning it at the 2D co-ordinates of the mouse, I'm sure I'll be able to sort that though

unit++;

}

Cloning seems just fine.

Ok, that's awesome. So the error lies within my loop?

What happens at the moment is the same Object just moves wherever the mouse is.
