Well lets see, the one thing I thought would be easiest doesn't work for me. I'm trying to make it so if i press the right key(rightkey()=1) then i want my cube to rotate to the right. I tryed the yrotate with no avail.

if rightkey()=1 then yrotate object 1,1

The Y rotate command rotates not around the cube's local Y axis but around the world's cardinal Y axis. If you want to rotate around the cube's local Y axis you should either:

1. use the turn object command; or
2. use Wolf's EZrotate plugin.

Btw: I assume in this post that you are using the +Y axis as representing the default "up" direction.

Cheers

also:

if rightkey()=1 then yrotate object 1,1

might need to be:

if rightkey()=1 then yrotate object 1,wrapvalue(object angle y(1)+1)

Ya I never got that wrapvalue thing, can you explain it a little better.

it converts a number to continually be within 1 and 360, kind of like a clock continually wraps the 1-12/0-59 numbers.

So lets say your variable is 340 - youd get back 340 back from wrapvalue

but if your number was 400, youd get back 40

heres an example of wrapvalue but written in dbp code, not using the built in function (written by IanM):



hope that helps explain it

Ok, so what exactly is the use of it?

edit

There's the complete code so far. as you can see it's supposed to rotate when i press the --> key but it doesn't.

the cube's y rotation is not the same as it's y position.

you use:

cubey# = get ground height(1, cubex#,cubez#) + 10.0
if rightkey()=1 then yrotate object 1, wrapvalue(cubey#+cubey#+1.0)

now, if the ground is flat, cubey# would always be 10.0
when you yrotate the object, it always rotates the y axis 10.0+1.0

You need to get it's y angle and add a number (or substract) it from it.

if rightkey()=1 then yrotate object 1, wrapvalue(object angle y(1)+1.0)

It's the same for a clock:

if minutes=60 then set hour(current hour + 1)

and not:

if minutes=60 then set hour(1)

And is there any explanation for that, I mean where to put it, what to put with it. I tried move object 1,4 and it just canceled out my rotate left and right commands. Reasons? Explanation? More than a command name?

I immediately edited my post to include the help file snippet before you posted again. I am assuming you have the help file with dbp, and are using the syntax listed there to try and accomplish your task.
