This was working fine just an hour ago, and now I cant get it to work. When I run the source code I get an error saying that it cant understand the command at line 30:

`load the matrix
LoadMatrix ("map",1)

I'm learning from the tutorials listed at the top of this forum, so this use's a matrix made in MatEdit.

Source code below.

Never mind. I was'nt using the new LoadMatrixPro for Darkbasic pro.

But now I cant get anything on screen. It loads, show's a blank screen then closes. I tryed running it in debug mode but it crash's.

Is LoadMatrix() a function?? if it is then you should remove the space from the command an the brackets:

from
LoadMatrix ("map",1)

to
LoadMatrix("map",1)

i haven't the LoadMatrix.dba so i can't check this.. but i think that the problem is the space between the command and the brackets...

bye

Nope, that would be whitespace that doesn't do anything. You could put a million spaces in there and it would still work.

This could be one of two things:

1. If the function is unknown, you may not have the #Include file at the start of your program.

2. The tutorial you are following uses an older version of Matedit than the one you are using. Check the docs with the version of MatEdit you are using to see that you are using the call correctly.

Your version may use the format:

Success=LoadMatrixPro("matrixname",1)

(The Pro version is a different include file to the DBC version).
