I've posted some code in the snippet that always seems to execute, but then it says there was an error. Anything wrong with it.

John "Dark Lord of Angel Destroying Destiny" Pringlebee, maybe?

Oh! Sorry, forgot to post it.

+ Code Snippet

sync on
make matrix 1,1000000000,100000000000,1000000000000,100000000000
randomize matrix 1,4
cubex#=1
cubey#=1
cubez#=1
make object cube 1,4
position object 1,cubex#,cubey#,cubez#
do
if upkey()=1 then cubez#=cubez#+1
loop

try this

+ Code Snippet

sync on
`your matrix segments were too big though I do not know the max
`that is a huge matrix though why so big?
make matrix 1,100000,100000,100,100
randomize matrix 1,4
cubex#=1
cubey#=1
cubez#=1
make object cube 1,4
position object 1,cubex#,cubey#,cubez#

do
	if upkey()=1 then cubez#=cubez#+1
	`also there was no sync command though sync was turned on
	sync
loop

I added some comments. I don't know what the max matrix size is but trust me I don't think any computer will run a matrix that size.

can i just ask what the point of the cubez# increasing? surely you would want something like this:

+ Code Snippet

`turn sync on
sync on

`make matrix and randomize
make matrix 1,100000,100000,100,100
randomize matrix 1,4
`if you are using DBPro then you also need to update the matrix
update matrix 1

`make and position cube
cubex#=1
cubey#=1
cubez#=1
make object cube 1,4
position object 1,cubex#,cubey#,cubez#

`begin loop
do

`move cube
	if upkey()=1 then cubez#=cubez#+1
        position object 1,cubex#,cubey#,cubez#

	`sync and end loop
	sync
loop

sorry about the matrix, this is the first real program i'm writing on my own, so i just typed in random numbers for this first one.

And yes dodo that is what i wanted, I just wasn't thinking straight.

Now, next question! I'm wondering how to make it so the cube is on or attached to the matrix in some way. just so it's on top.

+ Code Snippet

`turn sync on
sync on

`make matrix and randomize
make matrix 1,100000,100000,100,100
randomize matrix 1,4
`if you are using DBPro then you also need to update the matrix
update matrix 1

`make and position cube
cubex#=1
cubey#=1
cubez#=1
make object cube 1,4
position object 1,cubex#,cubey#,cubez#

`begin loop
do

`move cube
   if upkey()=1 then cubez#=cubez#+1
   if downkey()=1 then cubez#=cubez#-1
   if rightkey()=1 then cubex#=cubex#+1
   if leftkey()=1 then cubex#=cubex#-1
        position object 1,cubex#,cubey#,cubez#


   `sync and end loop
   sync
loop
