okay i am creating a game, and i cannot get my main object to move left or right.
how could i do this
it is positioned at x#,y#,z# but when this happens:
"
if keystate(30)=1
x#=x#-10
endif
if keystate(32)=1
x#=x#+10
endif
"
it doesnt move. And yes positioning the object at x#,y#,z# is in the main loop
please help
probable easy too
thx

sync on:sync rate 60
do
if leftkey()=1
x#=x#-10
endif
if rightkey()=1
x#=x#+10
endif
sync
loop

that should work

um... but i want to use the "a" and "d" keys
but besides that, your program is the exact same as mine, minus the sync:sync rate 60. And would that make the difference?

yes you have to put "sync on" and "sync rate" at top of your code

You are moving an object or the camera?
If you are moving an object it couldn't be simpler!
Quote: "
MOVE OBJECT RIGHT
This command will move the object in a right direction relative to its forward facing angle, rather than an
absolute world direction.

SYNTAX
MOVE OBJECT RIGHT Object Number, Value
"


and

Quote: "
MOVE OBJECT LEFT
This command will move the object in a left direction relative to its forward facing angle, rather than an
absolute world direction.

SYNTAX
MOVE OBJECT LEFT Object Number, Value
"

Post some code. That way we can see what the problem is rather than guess at it

this works
x#=object position x(1)
y#=object position y(1)
z#=object position z(1)
if keystate(30)=1
x#=x#-10
endif
if keystate(32)=1
x#=x#+10
endif
position object 1,x#,y#,z#

Dark Basic Classic or Dark Basic Pro?
In DBPro, that should work fine, provided you already have object 1 made.
