HI,
I know that the code
move object 1,1
would move an object on the x axis. How do I change that to the Y Axis?

position object command will allow you to position the object in the x y z dimensions

turn object then move object would simulate the same thing except each method has a different movement method.

the latter would point the object in the direction you would want to move it to, while the first will simply make it move up n down regardless of pointed position.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself 

here's a simple thing.

+ Code Snippet

y=0
x=object position x(1)
z=object position z(1)
If (conditions)
do
y=y+0.5
position object 1, x, y, z
loop
endif

+ Code Snippet

FUNCTION Move_Object_Vertical(Object, Speed#)

POSITION OBJECT Object, OBJECT POSITION X(Object), OBJECT POSITION Y(Object)+Speed#, OBJECT POSITION Z(Object)

ENDFUNCTION

Just a couple of problems with your code medieval, first off you defined y s 0 but what if the user's starting position isnt 0? Instead you should define it as the objects position in the beginning.

Also, your x y and z variables aren't integers, or are...I always get them mixed up...Either way, they wont store decimals and in games its common for user's y positions to be decimals.

Hope the function helps.

P.S:

Once again, why do you have my name in your signature. Please take it off.
