Well, I want the text to print out, and stay where the object is.
My code right now doesnt work, and I want to know why

.

+ Code Snippet

do

if object exist(50) = 0
for tempvalue=2 TO 50 Step 1
make object sphere tempvalue,2.5

starposition1# = rnd(175)

starposition2# = rnd(150)

position object tempvalue,starposition1#,rnd(0),starposition2#

color object tempvalue,rgb(rnd(500),rnd(500),rnd(500))

text OBJECT SCREEN X(tempvalue), OBJECT SCREEN Y(tempvalue)+1, "Alaci"


Next tempvalue

endif
loop

I cant get it to work. I am waaay to used to php programming, which is much easier for this type of stuff (in a way)

The 3D backdrop wipes your text. Try printing your text every loop.

+ Code Snippet

type txt_t
x as integer
y as integer
endtype

dim txt(50) as txt_t

do

if object exist(50) = 0
for tempvalue=2 TO 50 Step 1
make object sphere tempvalue,2.5

starposition1# = rnd(175)

starposition2# = rnd(150)

position object tempvalue,starposition1#,rnd(0),starposition2#

color object tempvalue,rgb(rnd(500),rnd(500),rnd(500))

txt(tempvalue).x=OBJECT SCREEN X(tempvalue)
txt(tempvalue).y=OBJECT SCREEN Y(tempvalue)+1


Next tempvalue

endif

for i= 2 to 50
text txt(i).x,txt(i).y, "Alaci"
next i

loop

I'm assuming you are using DB Pro.

The word "Gullible" cannot be found in any English Dictionary.
