Hi,

There is an excellent tutorial on the DarkBasic site. Go to the tutorials and code link and click the link to the 3D Monster Hunt tutorial. It will show you how to do exactly what you want.

I remember that back when I went through the tutorials I learned a lot that is why I said they are excellent. But I did find some mistakes along the way in the code. I had to post code from the tutorial also to get some help. It has been a long time since I went through the tutorial. It would be easier for someone to help if you would post some code.

Does your straffing code tutorial code work right ? It's the tutorial right before the bullet one. I seem to remember having a problem with the straffing code when I did the tutorial, but I got it fixed. The only thing I can come up with right now is that there is the x# and y# variables that are in the straffing code and also ing the bullet tutorial. Since I had to totally redo the straffing code the bullet code doesn't match up.
Sorry about the novel I typed. When I get to talking, I seem to never shut up.

This is the code someone gave me for straffing a long time ago. See what you can do with it.

rem Strafe left
if leftkey()=1
yrotate camera wrapvalue(camera angle y()-90)
move camera 10
yrotate camera wrapvalue(camera angley()+90)
endif

rem Strafe right
if rightkey()=1
yrotate camera wrapvalue(camera angle y()+90)
move camera 10
yrotate camera wrapvalue(camera angel y()-90)
endif

Did you get your gun to shoot properly yet ? I was looking through the tutorial myself to see if I could remember if there was an error in the bullet tutorial. Then I saw that the walking forward, and backward and the straffing code had some of the same variables. The program has to know where you are on the matrix and which way you are facing so the bullet can go in the right direction. If the code to the walking is wrong the bullet probably won't work either. I thought that might have something to do with it, but I could be wrong.

It has been about 1 1/2 years since I have done the 3D Monster Hunt tutorial. If your gun is still not shooting either you mistyped some of the code or there is another error other than the straffing.

Another novel. Hee! Hee!

Hey,

I just wanted you know Lost Kid I'm still helping you. I have been working on your code. I have redone added some code. I still can't get the gun to shoot, but I should have it working soon. I thought you might want to look at what I have so far. Here's the code.

Ok,

I got the bullet to shoot. It shoots every time you press the mouse button, but if you move you will notice that the bullet comes from the same spot on the matrix. And if you shoot on the move the bullet goes wacky.

At least I was able to get that far.
I don't know what version of windows or DarkBasic Classic you are using, but I never had to use get image command to texture a matrix.
Of course it could have been my computer.

I have always created my matrix before other objects.
Why you had to raise the camera on y axis 200 to be on the matrix I couldn't figure out. I tried everything I could think of.

Maybe you can play with this code to get it to work better for you.
Hope this helps.

well, my computer is a microsoft windows me, and to tell you the truth i don't own a full version of dark basic(yet) i ordered a game creation kit, and the cd had a dark basic trial version w/o a trial so it means i can't create stand alone exes but i have the software forever(This really bummed me)

Quote: "Maybe you can play with this code to get it to work better for you.

Nope i can't get the code to work any better than you can, but it has helped so thanks

And(If you have read this far) i was wonderin' if its possible to make the sphere like a hidden 3d character that follows along with the camera(using directional keys like the camera) until the player shoots.

thanks for reading, and thank-you

Your welcome,

I have the 1.13 full version of DarkBasic Classic and I have Windows XP.

Yes you should be able to do that. I would hide your character just like you did with the bullet, the hide object should work. Track the x,y,z coordinance of the object where it would be on the matrix and detect when the mouse clicks then show the character(object) as you shoot.
That is a rough draft of it, but it should work.

Glad I could help
