Just curious how you use functions like curveangle. Is it like this (assuming that you want the y angle of object 1 to go from whatever it is at to 0):


rotate object 1,0,curveangle(0,object angle y(1),5),0


or like this:


curveangle(0,object angle y(1),5),0

DB can do 2d and 3d...so:

DB = 3d <> 2d = DB...huh?

curveangle can be used to change an angle smoothly. Say you wanted to yrotate object 1 to go from 0 to 180, but very smoothly, this is how:

yrotate object 1,curveangle(180,object angle y(1),20)

the first parameter is the angle it's heading for, the second parameter is the angle that it is at, the third parameter is it's smoothness, the higher this goes, the smoother, but yet slower.

The curvevalue is just the same but can be used for anything else, such as coordinates.
