Hey everyone, I'm really new to DarkBasic, even though I've had it for a while, but never really used it. But anyway, I've got two questions right now.

1. I made a model in MilkShape, loaded it up in DarkBasic, it all works great. Then I animated it, put it in DB, and told it to "loop object 1", now my object is invisible! Is there something else I need to do when animating an object?

2. Is there any way to scale a matrix? I made two of them in MatEdit. When in the game, my first one is fine, but then when I go to the second one, it's huge! I didn't make it that way I don't think. Any way to resize it?

Thanks!

[edit]

1. try scaling the model by 5000%
-searched 'invisible' in the newcomers forum-

how about
LOOP OBJECT Object Number, From Frame, End Frame

Yes there will be coding problems.

No, you see it appears fine UNTIL I set to loop. I already have it scaled %2000, and without the loop code it looks great, just really static. Then when I put in the loop code it disappears.

2. Matrices cannot be scaled in DB, they can just be made different sizes, you choose the size of the tiles when you create it. It sounds as if you accidentily made the tile size too large when you created it in MatEdit.

No, tried that and he's still invisible.
Maybe there's something more I need to do when I export the animation?

Alright, then. I'll just have to make another one, thanks though.
