Uhm... This post is a little "blurry"... Could you please specify a little better what your problem is?

I didn't steal it!

make this code work with my hover.x object and the arrow keys?
`Create a Spaceship structure
Type SpaceShip
`actual x/y coords
x
y
`'sliding' x/y coords
xs
ys
`Current YAW (or yrotation)
dir
endtype

`Make ourselves a spaceship!
Andromida as Spaceship

Do
Goto Move_Player
Goto Andromida_Player_Control
Loop

`Player junk
Move_Player:

`This is updates the ships position by its thrust
Andromida.x = Andromida.x + Andromida.xs
Andromida.y = Andromida.y + Andromida.ys
Return

`Now the nitty gritty math stuff
`Grab the Input and thrust accordingly
Andromida_Player_Control:

`thrust is held in xs and ys
if upkey() = 1 then
Andromida.xs = Andromida.xs + cos(wrapvalue(Andromida.dir))
Andromida.ys = Andromida.ys - sin(wrapvalue(Andromida.dir))
endif
Return

I didn't know you could do oop stuff in dbpro. In that code you don't appear to be able to turn the ship.

ok.



Hope that works, I made it off the top of my head.

That will load your hover object then move it about using the arrow keys. You'll need some sort of world to move it about in, and also camera control so you can see it. You might have to scale the hover.x object about before you can work with it. You can also add stuff like tilting the object when it goes round corners.

forgot to mention you'll need a value for friction# otherwise it won't work. Something less than 1, varied on what the object is and how much friction it should have. For a hovercraft I'd say about 0.98.

It didn't work? Sorry about that I haven't been to the forums for a while. I'll start working on one that will work really well (tested) if the Darthster's code doesn't quite do it. BTW, I'm having a VERY tough time doing 3D freeflight movement seeing as there is a glitch in the object's turn, roll, and pitch commands (ie. pitch up x,1 will actually only turn the object's mesh direction, but not the true objects direction)! But I'll work on getting you at least a 2D version until I can get the 3D stuff to work.

OOOOH!! The last line of code doesn't work because if you do an IF statement with an ENDIF, you do not use a THEN. Just erase the THEN. Before I wrote that I must have been doing some VB programming
