I've loaded an object into the game from 3d Studio Max, but the orientation is not right. By that I mean that the front of the object is not the front, but the top is.

That way, when I use move object to move the object forward or backward, the object instead rises and sinks instead.

I suppose I could swap in 3d Studio Max, but I was wondering if there was a way to switch the orientation around in Dark Basic. Doing so could be handy in other situations, apart from the one I find myself in.

Cheers,
MicroMan

Thank you! I did figure it out, but it's appreciated.

Now to figure out how to implement FuSM into this language without any object-oriented-code.
