I tried this:

cls 0
delete object on
for kut = 1 to 65535 step 1
delete object kut
wait vbl
next kut

But it keeps giving the error that the range is from 1 to 65535?

Is there some way to default the application so it can just restart in the opening screen? This is just making me crazy.

Thanks in advance.

I'd just run a quick loop:

for i = 1 to 65535
if object exist(i)=1 then delete object i
next i



It's three lines, short and sweet.

delete object on is giving you the error. It's not even a command.

It's probably trying to delete object 0.

"on" in that sense would be a variable of zero

I tried this and it still gives me that error

I'm trying to build a loop in the free open source of that 3D tetris game.

Nope, it still wont work I don't know what I am doing wrong. If I put that in it says the object doesnt exist.

Then it's something in your syntax, I copied it to DBPro and hit F5, ran fine.

Its all about this source:

http://www.darkbasic.com/gallery_view.php?galleryid=10&p=6&catid=

Please, if you wanna help me out, download it and try and let it loop back to the first screen after the high score table so that the game starts over and over and over again (like any game)

I'm really curious as to what I am doing wrong. I know I'm doing something wrong, I should mention once again that I'm a newbie to DarkBasic.

Fixing this sounds like a good way to learn something.

Try stepping through the code and seeing precisely which command returns the error, and what the values of the variables are. This should tell you where the prob is, so you can work on fixing it.

System Specs: AMD Athlon 1700+ XP, GA-7VRX motherboard, 128MB DDR RAM, GeForce2 MX400 64MB VRAM

Check your in-box. Your code is fixed and loops fine now. It wasn't a matter of deleting objects, you needed to reset your variables before the game session restarted. The function routine you used for dropping the grid tried to use objects that no longer existed after the board was cleared.

SFSW Thank you very much! I've checked it out! It was a pretty dumb error lol I've been out of basic for a long time. I've programmed in AMOS in the Amiga for years and the minute I saw what you did with the source I figured "of course"!

I wanna thank everyone who answered on this problem. I guess this solution solves a lot of programming problems I've had so far, resetting values.... of course!
