What it does
CreateObjectCone brings a 3D object into being: it is how the rest of the program comes to have one. It takes objectID (an integer), height (a float), diameter (a float) and segments (an integer), and returns nothing. That is the first of 2 forms. objectID is the id you are giving a 3D object: every later call names it by that number.
