Hi

it means that Object 2 already exists. Try changing the object number. All different object types use the same numbering system.

Thanks in advance.
All the Best,

You loaded an object using load object fileName$,2
and later on you try to make another object 2 using make object sphere 2, radius. This means the two overlap, change one of them.

Whatever I did I didn't do it!

My recommendation...

Amazon.co.uk - DarkBasic + DarkMatter (includes DB Expansion) £24.99

You get all the sample code, more examples...and tutorials...and more examples.

Did I mention the examples?

Thanks in advance.
All the Best,
