explain what you mean by a dummy 3D object. I've seen these before in SH3/4 but never really understood what they were for.

A dummy is a 3D object with no geometry that's used for exactly that: to indicate a position in space. The very good part is that the object is placed using 3D Studio Max by using very friendly tools (you drag an object with your mouse). If you were a 3D modeler, you would hate to have to work with 3D coordinates by hand (each being made of 3 numbers with 7 decimals).

For you, it means you need to find an already existing dummy object on sub's hierarchy (there are plenty of those) and attach your controller to it.
