anyone know how to make a good smoke texture? im not good at making something like this and i want it to look good.

well nevermind about the smoke texture but i dont understand why this code wont work!!!!

+ Code Snippet


dec smokescale,1
scale object 510,smokescale,smokescale,smokescale
if object position y(510)<30
   move object up 510,0.5
   yrotate object 510,object angle y(510)+0.5
endif
if object position y(510)>30
   position object 510,-624,18,-34
   smokescale=100
endif

its a plain with a smoke texture on it,all i want it to do is move up and when it gets to a certain y height to reposition back to start.. also i want it to scale smaller and smaller as it goes up.
what it does currently with this code is just keep getting bigger and bigger,it doesnt move up at all.also if i remove the scale code,it just sits there and doesnt move at all.
whats wrong with this code????

The part of the code that moves it up needs to be in your main game loop.
