ok so my current code is this

+ Code Snippet

sync on
sync rate 120
backdrop on
autocam off

rem colors camera
color backdrop 250

rem make and position object
make object sphere 1,100
POSITION OBJECT 1,100,100,100
color object 1,200

rem make and position matrix
make matrix 2,10000,10000,50,50
POSITION matrix 2,0,0,0


rem make and position camera
make camera 3,
POSITION camera 3,0,0,0
point camera 3,100,100,100

do

   Rem Control input for camera
   If rightkey()=1 then turn camera right 3,1
   If leftkey()=1 then turn camera left 3,1
   if upkey()=1 then move camera 3,1
   if downkey()=1 then move camera 3,-1

   Rem Refresh Screen
   Sync

loop

what i want to change this to is WASD move forward(w) left(a) down(s) right(d).then have the camera face the courser(mouse)

but i don't have any idea how to make it move using this method

this is just for practice as ive never really explored far into darkbasic pro.

lol also wheres the default save location for windows XP...

As an additional improvement, use

keystate(17) instead of inkey$()="w"
keystate(30) instead of inkey$()="a"
keystate(31) instead of inkey$()="s"
keystate(32) instead of inkey$()="d"

Inkey$() can only pick up one key at once, so if the player pressed w and then a they would only go forwards. Keystate() allows you to check multiple keys at once so the player can go diagonally if they want to.

Wherever you choose it to be when you save the project.

If the project isn't saved then it just compiles the .exe into the windows temp folder.

thanks bmac

ok and im still wondering hoe to rotate the camera using the mouse.

(could i at least get a push in the right direction)

ok so i did some looking through the command window and found mousex and mousey

now i guessing i would have to use these with the yrotate camera and xrotate camera. but how would i go about that.

i would use the MouseMoveX() and MouseMoveY() commands. They seem to work better for me. They catch the value of how far it moved instead of where it is located.

I would also use the TURN CAMERA RIGHT and PITCH CAMERA UP commands.

Something like:

+ Code Snippet

CamSpeed# = 0.25
TURN CAMERA RIGHT MouseMoveX() * CamSpeed#
PITCH CAMERA UP MouseMoveY() * CamSpeed#

I'm still a n00b myself, so this is more from experience than from what might actually be the l33t coding standard. Hope it helps!

Also one other thing, no biggy, but you make an object, a matrix and a camera, and go up 1,2,3, you dont need to do this if they are different types, as you use for example position OBJECT or position LIGHT followed by the number, so using the number 1 for them would be ok, and would keep the numbers down.

For keystate help in the new editor just press CTRL + K or there is a keystate helper under tools.
