Small problem. This is the source for a game I'm making, but it givers me the same error Stora Tomtefar had. It highlights my loop as a compiler error and says an object does not exist. Help please...

+ Code Snippet

Rem Setup sync
Sync On
Sync Rate 30
load object "demon2.x" ,1
load object "level1.x",7
hide mouse
load object "gun.x",8
YRotate Object 8,90
position object 8,0,-6,15
Lock object on 8



do
caY# = camera angle y()
if upkey() = 1 then move camera 10
if rightkey()=1 then yrotate camera wrapvalue(cay#+5)
if leftkey()=1 then yrotate camera wrapvalue(cay#-5)
if downkey() =1 then move camera -10
sync
loop

Thanks...

Thanks!(for..whatever it is you did...)

Ok, i tried to use your code, but i made cubes instead for your loaded objects, and it worked...
I think the error is that your objects actually don't exist, or that you've misspelled something...

I think that my problem was that I made something with an object before it was created, as in

Texture object 10,10
Make object cube 10,10

But I see that that isn't your problem

I just figured this same problem out a while ago. DBC is really finnicky in just about every aspect of anything. One of these many things it is finnicky about is negative numbers, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. There is one surefire way to always make it work though.
Change
"if downkey() =1 then move camera -10"
to
"if downkey() =1 then move camera 0-10"

It will calculate it, and won't get angry about a minus sign in the middle of nowhere.

I'm going to eat you!
