Ok, im trying to get an effect so your code is able to move a certain amount of objects by themselves without me moving them with a keypress or mouseclick....heres the code I have created so far:

+ Code Snippet

rem=====================================
rem CODE MADE BY JORDAN P.(ELEMENT)
rem COPYRIGHT GPINTERACTIVE 2002
rem=====================================
sync on
cls
rem make the objects
for mb=1 to 9
make object box mb, 30, 40, 45
next mb

rem position the objects
posox=RND(400)
posoy=RND(0)
posoz=RND(200)
position object 1, posox, posoy, posoz
position object 2, posox, posoy, posoz
position object 3, posox, posoy, posoz
position object 4, posox, posoy, posoz
position object 5, posox, posoy, posoz
position object 6, posox, posoy, posoz
position object 7, posox, posoy, posoz
position object 8, posox, posoy, posoz
position object 9, posox, posoy, posoz

rem fix the objects pivots
for fp=1 to 9
fix object pivot fp
next fp

rem make objects move
move=RND(20)
turn=RND(75)
for mto=1 to 9
move object mto, move : turn object left mto, turn
next mto

I havent worked on it too long due to me being so busy this week but I got a little bit in today to make this up.

Any help is appreciated!

next fp

rem make objects move

Im trying to keep the code as small as possible

i'm not quite sure i understand what you want to achieve...
just randomly reposition the objects each time the key is depressed?

i think he wants to make a computerised object that can do its own thing in its own time.

Cloud is correct on what im kinda trying to achieve. Basically I just want the boxes(they will be enemies once the testing is done), to move around by themselves doing their own thing. If I can get this done, it will be something like:

on collision2 goto battlescreen
if battlewin then mb=mb-1
if battlelose then mb=mb and goto losescreen

mb would be the number of boxes(1 to 9)...then it would make the number of boxes, 8 on the screen. I still have to figure out all the formula, but I need to get the moving randomly by themselves first. help? lol

After I get that done, I will try to make them follow you if you get a certain distance from them(meaning I need to prob make two types of collision, 1 that is touching the enemy then making you go to the battle screen, and another to make the enemy follow you if you get too close)

i might be able to help with some of it to get the enemies to follow u u just put point object enemynumber,x#,0,y# in the main loop and it will hopfully turn and follow u when told to move.

cloud

p.s i have do things simular to what u want before not with the enemies moving but when u collide with it it goes to a battle screen but i don't know if i have the codes any more but i'll see what i can do for u.

Thanks, appreciate the offer. I actually "Re-did" all of my code and everything works GREAT...have them moving on their own...next thing to tackle is collision to everything...and having the monster follow you if you get too close and if it hits you, it goes to the battle screen...might need a little bit of your help on that cloud, but ill see if the team and I can accomplish it first.
