I downloaded free form and was playing it and noticed that when you used freeflight rotation it actually worked! Howd you do that? Even with the simplest lines of code mine is a cross between freeflight and euler.

Latest Code:

Not like that, instead its best to rotate on the 3 axis. Remember to rotate on the z to keep left as left, etc.

I gave up after trying all sorts of combinations of rotating, turning, pitching, e.t.c.

I am told be Lee that Patch 4 will solve all our problems with free-flight commands.

I love it when a plan comes together

not quite sure what you mean. I tried rotating first like so:

zrotate object 1, curz+roll
yrotate object 1, cury+yaw
xrotate object 1, curx+pitch

That had no effect it seems. Could you place a code snippet?

Like this....

sync on : sync rate 0
color backdrop rgb(0,0,128) : hide mouse
set text font "arial" : set text size 12 : set text transparent

load object "fighter.x",1
position object 1,0,-3,3

do
if leftkey() then dec ay#,.5
if rightkey() then inc ay#,.5
if upkey() then inc ax#,.5
if downkey() then dec ax#,.5

rotate object 1,ax#,ay#,0
sync
loop

Bassi- I don`t think that works, although it does illustrate the problem, IE pressing Left/Right always rotates about the world y axes while pressing up/down rotates around the objects z-axis, at least thats what it does on mine.

Bassi, you missed the point.

What I don't understand is, if that works everywhere else (rotating on z first), then how come it doesnt work in DBP?

What point could I possibly miss on this andvanced
piece of programming of yours.

Ok... what is freeflight rotation?
Lemme guess:
Your model/camera whatever rotates in any direction while it's axis is still moving? Like in that asteroids video game?

No, free flight rotation is where the turning the camera left always turns it to its left rather than the world's left. Its more complicated than if you just rotate on the y axis for left and right because if you change both the x and y axis then you must spin on the z to turn to the camera's left.

Sorry, I've been a way for a while. Again though, kingius, could you post a code snippet to show how you did that? I know I could simply probably just wait till patch 4, but I also like to know how things work. I typically try to stay away from programming things I don't understand (call it pride or something), cuz I NEED to know it .
