Hi, I'm making a space shooter in DBC!, but I
have a slight problemo. You see I have stored
mousemovex() like this (in the loop of my game)
cy#=wrapvalue(cy#+mousemovex())
then a few more lines down
I put...
Yrotate object 3,cy#
when I run this I have exactly what I wanted,
my object rotates accordingly to the mouse's x coordinate but
theres one problemo it is way to fast
How would I slow it down???
I'm using DBC V.1.13 Enhanced
on a windows 98 computer with a VooDoo 3

I think you just need to do this...
cy#=wrapvalue(cy#+(mousemovex()/2))

...well... I hope I helped...

[edit]
you may also want to reposition the mouse at the center of ther screen every loop so it doesn't reach the edge of the screen and stop...
Position Mouse 320,240

The computer isn't an addiction, its more of a mental and social dependancy.

Heh-hehe. yeah, the simple ones are the hard ones to find.

Any truly great code should be indisguishable from magic.
