Hi everyone,

I'm fooling around with a bit of code here to experiment with stuff. It's going fine but I've been wondering about a trick some of you people use, using an orb as "space" and just have the camera twirling around in there. What I have here is a piece of code with a ball, Im traveling in the ball myself using the forward key but then the ball (orb) seems to have dissappeard, Im not seeing the orb from the inside out if you know what I mean.


LOAD IMAGE "stone05.bmp",1

make object sphere 1,500
texture object 1,1
scale object 1,200,60,200
set object collision off 1
fog color 6
fog on

rem autocam on
rem position camera 0,1,0
rem set camera range 1,10000

do
if upkey()=1 then move camera 1
if leftkey()=1 then x=x-1: rotate object 1,x,x,0
if rightkey()=1 then x=x+1:rotate object 1,x,x,0
if x>360 then x=360
if x

hmm ... some of the code is missing but i think its because of some missing sync commands as "sync on", "sync rate x" and "sync" at the end of the mainloop

actually, to view your ball from inside
you need to "show" the other side of the
polygons.... the command for this is
set object 1,1,1,0
which translates to...
objcet 1=your ball
1 = not a wireframe
1 = not transparent
0 = show hidden polygons

You know, I've never thought of trying that before. That just might be crazy enough to work.

Hi guys

I found dbRadTools yesterday (which is a fabulous tool btw, if the makers happen to read this) and did find some interesting lines which now got explained to me by waffle here Also the negative -200,-60,-200 thing happens to work excellent!

Thank you very much, I'm learning a lot these days DarkBasic is da bomb....
