I don´t understand what you mean...
In that example, the gun is number 20 and the bullet is 21.
You can load in that code any gun you want as number 20.

cheers.

Have a look at the LOAD OBJECT filename , object number command. It allows you to load models into your game, which can then be manipulated like any other object. LOAD OBJECT requires a filename and an object number, so if you wanted to load your gun, say it was called "DUAL_ELITE.X", into object number 20, you would type the following:

LOAD OBJECT "DUAL_ELITE.X",20

Make sure you know the actual filename of your model and its extension, so you can load it. Also make sure that you have your model and your EXE in the same directory in this case. If you wanted to load it from a subfolder of your main directory (where your EXE is), you would do the following. Say the folder was called "EPIC GUN FOLDER". You would do this. Keep in mind it's not case-sensitive:

LOAD OBJECT "EPIC GUN FOLDER/DUAL_ELITE.X",20

When you have an 3D object...(your own object made in any 3D program)....and you would like to use it as your gun in a first person shooter, you will have to write some comands:

Load object "my_gun.x",1 That will load your object(your gun....the one you like more...whatever...)

Position object 1,camera position x(),camera postion y(),camera position z()

Those commands position object number 1 (refering your gun....the one you created...the one your friend gave at....)

so....knowing that we can load our objects (using comand LOAD OBJECT ,"my_object.x",1) we can put the object where we want....and just answering your cuestion about adding a gun...I supposed that you meant to use a gun in a first person shooter....I even ask my self now....mmmmmh let me think....

We can load our objects...
we can place this objects where we want
we can do a lot of things with Dbpro.

The example I posted here is to little advanced for a beginner sorry...but if you just read it little by little, you will notice, that this is the best tutorial you will find for this purpose.

I would like to help you somehow...I would like to hear about you about learning to programm with darkbasic and that examples around the forum where good for you....just let me know if you learn with us.


cheers.

Use the one that ends with ".x" or ".dbo" or maybe even ".3ds", as those are the actual models that you can load. If you don't see any file extensions when looking at folders with windows explorer, go to TOOLS->Folder Options->View and uncheck "Hide file extensions". The other files you see (".bmp" , ".jpg", etc.) are textures. Make sure you load the ".x"/".dbo"/".3ds" version and include the file extension when you type in the filename.

I could, but I'd need to know what the filename of your gun is. If you don't know, could you take a screenshot of the gun folder and post it here? It's really simple, just use LOAD OBJECT on the gun model's filename to load it into your game. If you can't see it, try scaling it to different sizes using SCALE OBJECT.

You haven't saved a project. You need to make a project, as the exe is created in the same folder as the .dbpro file, and the filepaths are relative to that .exe.

Or if you have created a project, it doesn't look like it. Sorry.

Rawwrr. Sig Fail.
