When I make and position a box in my game, the box does not show the top face. The odd thing about this is that the box on the right shows perfectly and it has almost the same code! The box is not intersecting with the camera in any way.



Here is the code of the section with the problem. The object before is called oldnum, and we want to read data from that object to span the distance between the wall and the side.



Here is the code for the full game. WARNING: Many media references!

I'd add some print or text statements and a perhaps a wait key command to see what the values of the various variables are. My guess is that you have a box with zero width or an out of range/sight coordinate.

From the screenshot it looks like you've inverted the faces so they all point inwards, if this is the case then you're looking at the back of the face and so it appears invisible. The solution is to use "Set Object Cull ObjNumber, 0" so you can see both sides of the face. Again, I'm not entirely sure that's what you've done (or are trying to do) but it sure looks like that's what happened.

Or alternatively load the object up in a modelling programme like 3D Canvas and see what it looks like. If its inverted then most modelling programmes have an invert tool that'll make it the right way around again.
