Ok, here is a code I have now.



Now, I have that, which makes the sphere move backwards and fowards. Does anyone know how I can make it go up and down? I know I will have to change the code around, but does anyone know? And, how would I go about making the sphere go left and right? I have tried other things but cannot find out how to do that. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks and bye!

P.S. I made the code above myself, and I am new, so I cant do much, so I think from looking at nothing while writng that code, for me, was pretty good.

I'm wondering why you are moving the object based on it's angle. The second value in the move object command should be a distance. Anyway, to move the object you could do one of two (three) things. The first is to rotate the object a bit, move it, and then rotate it back, all in one go. You would do this by using:



The other way of doing it is a bit more complex, you could either use newxvalue and newzvalue or sin/cos functions. The newxvalue commands work based on an angle, so you can put the angle it is currently facing plus 90 in the command.



or



Play about with those commands, look them up in the help etc.

To move up and down, just rotate in a different direction, or use newyvalue or something.
