Okay, so I downloaded a tutorial with a .x model, and it worked perfectly. And I noticed that when I opened it up with notepad, it looked very different from my exported models. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but either way, my models aren't working but this one does. I suppose it's off to the 3D chat with me.
But while I'm here, I may as well go with what I have so far. With the jeep model (the only one that works), I wanted to make it so when I held a button, the animation played, and it moved - as you would do for a character walking, my first goal in this. Here is what I have so far.
SYNC ON: SYNC RATE 60
LOAD OBJECT "jeep.x", 1
XObj# = OBJECT POSITION X(1)
YObj# = OBJECT POSITION Y(1)
DO
IF INKEY$()="w"
LOOP OBJECT 1
POSITION OBJECT 1, XObj# + 1, YObj#, 0
ENDIF
SYNC
LOOP
END
I tried it outside the loop at first, but it didn't do anything. Now it only moves the first time, and the animation doesn't stop when you lift the key. I figure it's a basic concept, but if you need me to upload the model, I can. Thanks.
