this code worked for a while then stopped, I am a little concerned...

+ Code Snippet

sync rate 60
autocam off

make object plain 1, 1000, 1000
color object 1, rgb(0, 255, 10)
xrotate object 1,270
make_trees(25)

do
sync
loop

function make_trees(tree_quantity)
   for n = 5 to tree_quantity + 5
      TreeHeight = 50 + rnd(75)
      make object cone n, nTreeHeight
      position object n, -500+rnd(1000), nTreeHeight/2, -500+rnd(1000)
      color object n, rgb(0, 255, 55)
   next n
endfunction

You had an "n" in front of your tree height variables.

Whew... I thought you were TDK.

Did you take out both of them or just one "n"?

Yeah code works here (at least the way it is programmed to work).

Oddly, it started working when I put it in the main body of the program rather than trying to use it in a function. Also, I never got any errors while it wasn't working, the exe would build and it just wouldn't work the way I expected. The really weird thing was that it was working for a while, then stopped.

Are there memory leaks or anything like that I need to be aware of? I have noticed the dbpro ide doing some weird stuff from time to time.

Thanks,
Matt
