I need some help to rotate an object
I did a matrix and insert a tank in it
I want to tank to stand in one spot but I need it to
rotate to left and right (according do to buttons of course)
the problem is that I have no idea how to do it

The only thing I can guess is that the code will come where
I put `===========.

BTW this is my first game

yrotate object 1,object angle y(1)-1

yrotate object 1,object angle y(1)+1

just a simple way of doing it.
use values less than 1 for slower pivot

Worked but not very good
I can turn the object left but when I tried to turn it right
I get an error "Runtime error at line 45, Specified angel must be 0 to 360 degrees at line 45"
how can I solve it?

For both, use:

wrapvalue(object angle y(1)-1)
wrapvalue(object angle y(1)+1)

that way, it will stay between 0 and 360 degrees

I hope you coded this:

yrotate object 1,wrapvalue(object angle y(1)-1)
yrotate object 1,wrapvalue(object angle y(1)+1)

not that it makes any difference in this example (if I remember correctly) but for future reference please specify if you are using DBC, as these boards are dbp related - and if not specified I assume dbp. Either way the inclusion of the wrapvalue function should solve the problem (Unless of course the angle value exceeds 36000 +/-) then "kablooooie" (plays explosion.wav) the wrapvalue function blows up.
