DarkBasic PRO is clearly better than GameStudio, and alot easier too.

I didn't steal it!

NO DON'T!!!

The trial is infamously full of bugs and hasn't been properly updated like the retail version.

Why does everyone insist on calling it a script. Its code, not a script!

Script is just for controlling actions of objects.

As for your your question, you've got X/Y/ZROTATE, ROLL OBJECT or PITCH OBJECT...

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

==> C Script

action name
{
my.tilt = my.tilt + 5;
}
thanks

==> DBP Basic

function name()
xrotate object 1,Object Angle X(1)+0.1
endfunction

where 1 is the number assigned to your object

the most useful advantage of this system is that you can do this:

for i = 1 to 100
rem Rotate Each object 10 degrees
XROTATE OBJECT i,Object Angle X(i)+10
next i

Toad we could all get into the problems with it being called Code as well becuase it isn't code it is a script of a language which is then converted into machine code

really should be called a program document hehee (^_^)

and you are only good at it in the sense that you can always pick a fight - not that you always win it

As long as it's a good arugment, I don't care who wins, I take plessure in the fact that I'm having fun.

Am I a butterfly dreaming I'm a man?
Or a bowling ball dreaming I'm a plate of samishi?

Look under the Principles section of the help files.

If you want a good tutorial on using DarkBASIC look at the Limit Rush source code tutorial - http://www.darkbasicplanet.com (The code won't compile under DBP currently - if you want the DBP code mail me)
