Well, I think I know what your trying to do. I'm guessing that you want to make a object and then TEXTURE it with an image. The reason why your getting that error is because your trying to make a object out of a image. Images are 2d like a drawing on a piece of paper, and an object is 3d like a human or a gun in real life. A image only has one way that you can view it which is directly on top of it, on the other hand a object you can rotate and look at it from different angles.

If you want to TEXTURE a object with an image you can. A texture is just a image that is wrapped around an object.

The code below will simply load up your image, make a sphere object, and then texture the object with the image. However, make sure you replace the "FileName.bmp" part with the filename of your image that you want to use, but make sure it's in quotes.

+ Code Snippet

Load Image "FileName.bmp",1

Make Object Sphere 1,50
Texture Object 1,1

I think that's what you want to do, but I'm not sure.

If you really want to see what that code above does then run the code below, but just remember to replace the "FileName.bmp" part with the filename of your image that you want to use, but make sure it's in quotes. And if you don't understand the code below, don't worry about it because you don't really need to yet, it's just so you can see what the code I posted above is doing.

The controls:

-Right\Left Keys - Side Step
-Down\Up Keys - Move backward and forward
-Mouse - Looks Around

+ Code Snippet

Sync On : Sync Rate 30
Hide Mouse

Load Image "FileName.bmp",1

Make Object Sphere 1,50
Texture Object 1,1

rem Camera Movement
Do

Cam_YAng#=WrapValue(Cam_YAng#+(MouseMoveX()*.5))
Cam_XAng#=WrapValue(Cam_XAng#+(MouseMoveY()*.5))

Rotate Camera Cam_XAng#,Cam_YAng#,0

If DownKey()=1 Then Move Camera -1
If UpKey()=1 Then Move Camera 1

Cam_XPos#=Camera Position X()
Cam_ZPos#=Camera Position Z()

If RightKey()=1
Cam_XPos#=NewXValue(Cam_XPos#,Cam_YAng#+90,1)
Cam_ZPos#=NewZValue(Cam_ZPos#,Cam_YAng#+90,1)
EndIf

If LeftKey()=1
Cam_XPos#=NewXValue(Cam_XPos#,Cam_YAng#-90,1)
Cam_ZPos#=NewZValue(Cam_ZPos#,Cam_YAng#-90,1)
EndIf

Position Camera Cam_XPos#,Cam_YPos#,Cam_ZPos#

Sync
Loop

I hope I've helped, but if you have any questions or thats not what you want to do then just say so

This function allows you to load a bitmap from the disk. Then it's displayed in the screen like a 3d object.

Syntax: Object_Number = Object From Image("C:\Image.BMP")

+ Code Snippet

Function Object From Image(Fichier$)
   Ok = 0
   For n = 1 To 31
      If BitMap Exist(n) = 0
         Bmp = n
         Ok = 1
         Exit
      EndIf
   Next n
   OkI = 0
   For n = 1 To 65535
      If Image Exist(n) = 0
         Img = n
         OkI = 1
         Exit
      EndIf
   Next n
   OkO = 0
   For n = 1 To 65535
      If Object Exist(n) = 0
         Obj = n
         OkO = 1
         Exit
      EndIf
   Next n
   If (Ok And OkI) And OkO
      BmpAncien = Current BitMap()
      Load BitMap Fichier$, Bmp
      dx = BitMap Width(Bmp)
      dy = BitMap Height(Bmp)
      Get Image Img, 0, 0, dx, dy
      Make Object Plain Obj, dx, dy
      Texture Object Obj, Img
      Delete Image Img
      Set Current BitMap BmpAncien
   Else
      Sortie = (0 - 8) + (Ok + ((2 * OkI) + (4 * OkO) ) )
   EndIf
EndFunction Sortie

*Input String is the name of the bitmap file you want to load.

*If the returned value is:
positive : object containing the image is ready. The returned value is the object number the function found to load bitmap.
negative : Error
-1 = File not found
-2 = No bitmap available
-3 = No image available
-5 = No object available

*Rem : Image and bitmap used by the function are automatically erased.

What you're after, are "Sprites", not objects

Grand theft auto used 3D... though very basic 3D. Most of the detail was done on the textures.

Ya, your probably looking for sprites. A sprite is basically just an image that restores the background when it is moved.

BEFORE running this you have to save the attachment, "Loading.bmp" and put it in the same directory as the code. Or you could just your own image

.

Here's The Code:

+ Code Snippet

Hide Mouse

rem Create A Image
Ink Rgb(255,0,0),0
Create Bitmap 1,50,50
Line 25,0,25,50
Line 0,25,50,25
Get Image 2,0,0,49,49
Delete Bitmap 1

Load Image "Loading.bmp",1

rem Paste Backdrop Image To The Screen
Paste Image 1,0,0

rem Main Loop
Do

rem Update Sprite
Sprite 1,MouseX(),MouseY(),2

rem Slow The Program Down A Little
Wait 10

Loop

If you run this you will see that the sprite restores the backdrop image as it moves. Also anypart that is completely black on the sprites image becomes transparent. These are the basic reasons why sprites are so important in 2d games.

Hope this helps
