Picking Pointer

Ok, i am playing around with types and would like to know, after creating an object with my type, how can i go about re pointing the pointer to it after picking it from the 3d world.

ok that might have been a tounge twister, but i am using a simple camera picking with the mouse to return the objects name, so i can reposition the selected object. But it seems to be returning the memory address (or a long number), so how can i repoint my pointer to that object so i can change its paramaters?

take a look at the object and handle entry.

the object and handle stuff is for after you understand what you are doing,

you need:

Type object
Field handle
End type

o.object=new object
o\handle=createcube()

for o.object = each object
if o\handle=pickedentity()
moveentity o\handle,1,0,0
endif
next
