I'm trying to use a smaller increment when rotating object:

IE:

do
x = 1
Rotate object 1, 0,x,0
x= x = .05
sync
loop

This is not working..I'm an VB Guy and in VB I would dimension the variable (Dim x as Double) to allow decimal numbers...Is this possible in DBPro?

Any help appreciated...

Oops:

Code should read

do
x = 1
Rotate object 1, 0,x,0
x= x + .05
sync
loop

Float variables have to be defined like:

x#=1
x#=x#+0.05

alternatively you can define a variable to be a particulat type:

x as float
x=1
x=x+0.05

Boo!

also, instead of

x# = x# + 0.5

you can just do

inc x#,0.5

Do not EVER use Inc and Dec... They are (sometimes) bugged, especially when using decimals

do you have any evidence of this? I've used the inc and dec commands on floats consistently in DBPro without every noticing any errors/inconsistancies.
