Hello,

Well...I've moved on. I'm working in C++ now rather than DarkBASIC. Unfortunately, this means that many functions I used in DarkBASIC are no longer available to me in C++. Is there anyone who can please explain to me the mathematics for the newvalue() commands? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It's something like:

newXvalue ( curr, angle, step ) = curr + sin(angle)*step
newZvalue ( curr, angle, step ) = curr + cos(angle)*step
