The Speed# thing is the right idea for acceleration + deceleration. The thing is that you aren't taking into consideration the car's rotation when moving. The Z axis never changes no matter which way the car is facing. As a result, your rotating of the car object doesn't do anything for the car's directional movement. You may want to have a look at the following commands:

MOVE OBJECT object, distance

NewXValue(Current X Position, angle, distance)

NewYVAlue(Current Y Position, angle, distance) <--- Won't help much with your current situation...

NewZValue(Current Z Position, angle, distance)

Those commands all take into consideration an object's angle when doing movement. NewXValue, NewYValue (again it might not be helpful at this time) and NewZValue return values and should be used together. Let me know if you need any help. Just write any of those commands and press F1 on it for help.

Good luck

@Sixty Squares

Are these commands in the DarkBasic Professional package?

edit:

Ok. I found them. It seems I have wasted a lot of time doing all of my own motion tracking.


Whatever...

@Dabbler: I believe so, I use them all the time.

@Tv Xxx

I made the following substitution in your code:



It seems to work better this way.


Whatever...
