Granted... but when you're travelling continually and you don't have hundreds to drop on a tube box, I think practicality really should take a little priority.

I'VE DONE IT...

Best part of 2 days, but newton physics are now in my editor, I've even included a button on the ToolBar to turn the Physics on/off, and Adding Lights, (See Attached Picture).

Next...Adding Camera View Options, (FPS and RPG), Should be a lot easier than adding physics.

@ Melancholic

I'll be posting all the code to my Editor in a few days anyway, but i did make a post about how my object selector worked, Check my last post on this page.

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=162150&b=1

However, this was taken straight out of my source, so its set up for my dims in my editor, Usually the easiest way to make an object selector, is simply to use the command Pick Object, and combine this with MouseMove Values, This was how i made my first ever object selector.

Let me know if you need any help, or post in the DBPro Forum, im sure someone will help you.

Crap! I tried re-writing my deleting code, but it doesn't work!!


Now the program will only delete the first created object and you can no longer freely delete any object you want/need. Also, the ObjsCreated variable suddenly goes to the -150s, which makes no freaking sense at all! Just what am I doing wrong here?!

Try replacing the for loops with an if statement with the upper and lower variables - first off you're wasting processing time with unneccessary iterations of the for loop. Secondly, you only have certain things in an if statement inside the for loop, so for example every time the key is pressed it takes 1 away from the objects for every time it goes through the for loop.
Try something along these lines instead:

and so forth...

Thanks! That solved the issues right there.

I dunno why I thought a for-next loop would work..I mean, the reason the ObjsCreated variable went to the -100s zone was because I was deleting every object inside of that loop. I guess I thought of it because I've used for-next loops to delete objects in old games of mine...but this was a totally different situation, so I should have realized the results of using it would not be what I expected. Heh, oh well. Thanks again!

Crap, found out I gotta ride a bus with 30 boys and 20 girls (not allowed to sit together) to my basketball game that's recently been relocated to someplace named Kermit that's an hour or so away from here. Worse news is that I probably won't get played in the game because the coach only plays boys that were on his football team earlier this year (he doubles as the football coach). So, all of today is gonna be wasted like yesterday. And the day before yesterday. And I might be okay with not playing if our team would actually win. Yesterday we got totally blown out by a crap team. Coach played a total of 7 players out of 22. The original 5 starters did not call a single play while on the court. Two of them fouled out causing the other 2 to come in. I won't get back home until about 10:30pm.

The good news in all of this? I just saved 15% or more on my car insurance by switching to Geicko.

I have done about half the first one...

I really do hate these tedious tasks, especially when im accused of plagurism, i used 'big' words/phrases, such as; arresting factors, disconcerning evidence or centeral business district (CBD)

Its specialist vocab and am aiming for distinction so what the hell is thier problem. -____________-"""

It's because they use lousy plagarism detectors and think their word is God. Teachers should be educated as to how truly useless such filters are given the amount of possible entries versus the amount of students entered in history.

Worst bit is, as more students are entered, their plagarist database will get bigger and bigger and so more peoples' careers will be wrecked by false positives. Plagarism should be detected by seeing how well a project is articulated and put together - one idea should follow on from and build upon the last - not by matching patterns of words. How stupid.
