Okay, so I've set up 10 to 200 stars (white plains) and in the main loop I've created a for loop to reposition these stars accordingly (minus the var of speed). This is one of the many (many) variations I've tried for the for loop to see if I can re-setup the z depth of the object once it reaches a certain point.



I must be missing something.

Uhm, what is zd set to? And why are you assigning a random value to e if 2 lines later you're assigning a new value to it?

zd is set to 10. That's just it, I don't know what to do. I tried resetting the z depths like this:



But that doesn't work.

Wait...couldn't I just inc the object position z(zr)? I'm going to go try that.

No, you have to position object, not set object position z

I found that this works:



If there's a simpler or better way to do this then please tell me.
