Uhm, please give more info. There's no way to know whether you mean a 3D object, a sprite, and what way you want to rotate it.

Its not a bug, its a feature!

If it is 3D then work around this:

Hope that helps.

@ Kentaree , sorry about that iv made that mistake many time before.

@adrew neale , thanks a lot my planet now rotates.

the next problem im having is that , when my player moves back u can see a hole in my 3ds planet i think its to do with my camera range which is only 900 i dont wont to increse that number 2 much because that blends in nicely with my fog and level.

In that case you have 2 options, you can either increase the camera range somewhat, or decrease the distance of the fog.

Side note: andrew neale's code rotates 5 degrees per loop. If you want a constant speed on everyone's machine, you need to check out elapsed time per loop and use that to determine how much to rotate.

Well, the code looks the same so I can't tell from that fragment. Time to put on the trouble shooting hat and start printing values to the screen and see what is what.

BTW, "does not work" means "not very useful data". How is it not working?

If...

planetAngle# = wrapvalue(planetAngle# + (5.0*(elapsedTime/1000)))

...is failing, remove the wrapvalue function and try it...

planetAngle# = planetAngle# + (5.0*(elapsedTime/1000))

... or perhaps elapsedTime/1000 is going integer and returning a zero...

temp# = elapsedTime
planetAngle# = planetAngle# + (5.0*(temp#/1000.0))

Let's see more of the code involved, we're not psychic.

*peeeeeeeep**peeeeep*

Why not:

yrotate object 1,wrapvalue(object angle y(1)+(60/screen fps()))

Btw, about the planet moving. If you made it using a 3D program instead, then its possible you haven't centered the planet on the origin.

uh and i though people here were smart...
why don't you use the turn object right\left commands???
for example:

really...

where planetobj is the object number of your planet
and i dont mean to insult anyone by this post

No insult taken since your code is even more stupid.

You set up a 10th second delay and then it rotates 10 degrees per loop. Not very clever, eh? I guess you forgot to reset stime when you kicked off a rotation.
