DBC or DBPRO? And have you tried the tutorials that come with the program, or searching the forums? Really, you shouldn't have to start a new thread for this! Look around and help yourself, not to sound harsh or anything, but this is really basic stuff that can be found in a lot of places if you look yourself.

Searching for file 'sanity'...
Sorry, no results were found.

if rightkey() then position object x,object position x(x)+1,object position y(x),object position z(x)

if upkey() then position object x,object position x(x),object position y(x),object position z(x)+1

etc,etc....


You should probably do some tutorial hunting.

The word "Gullible" cannot be found in any English Dictionary.

`its easiest to do something like this:

`the stuff in parentheses is not in the programming

load object "knight.x",1
do
if upkey()=1
move object 1(which would be specified as "knight.x" earlier),1
endif
if downkey()=1
move object 1,-1
endif
if leftkey()=1
turn object left 1,1
endif
if rightkey()=1
turn object right 1,1
endif
loop
`and a good habit to get into is using variables in place of the
`numbers like:
`move object 1,speed1#
`so u can adjust without having to change anything but one `number
`hope that helped, and theres another way to do it but its more `complicated but necessary if u have the camera at a tilt
`o and when using variables make sure to define before the loop like
`speed1#=1
