[guide] how to make a spining cube under your control

[malthi]

i think i want to make my own small guide about darkbasic this will be about controling a object its now huge but inportant in almost all games

okay first we want to make a object we can do so with this command:

make object cube 1,100

the first number is the nuber of the object the next number is the scale of the object.

now we want it to check if some of the keys we use to control it is pressed. And we want it to do it forever so we put

do

after the make object command and put the

loop

command at the buttom it will make it do all betwen do and loop until we breaks the loop but in this program we dont wanna do so

now we want it to rotate its yangle if we press left arrowkey we do so with this command

if leftkey()=1 then yROTATE OBJECT 1, OBJECT ANGLE y(1)+1

the "if leftkey()=1 then" part of the command make the program only do the following command if the leftkey is pressec because =1 means pressed 1 will always mean on and 0 will always mean unpressed and "if" mean if the following condition is on the program will do the following command

the

yROTATE OBJECT 1, OBJECT ANGLE y(1)+1

part of the program will make the program rotate the objects yangle
the "yrotate object 1", make it rotate the yangle a nuber of degress must be betwen 0 and 360 but we want it to change its yangle by 1 evry second not just set it to exampel 10 so indstet of have a command that look like this
"yrotate object 1,10"
we make another command
"object angle y(1)+1"
it takes the yangel of and object the number of the object is in () after the command in this case its 1. (but you should know that) and + it with 1 so we move 1 more degress than we already is on
and i dont know where it will be good to post this but the number1 in the yrotate object 1
is the number of the object we want to rotate

now we want to do the same but with another key and another angel we want to change you should know what to do here we want to make one where we change the z angle when press right and x angle when press up

you should know how to do that but if not read it bether

now we want it to move when press space we do so with the following command

if spacekey()=1 then move object 1,10

the first part "if spacekey()=1 then" you should now what that do
the "move object 1,10 "
move the object the first number is the number of the object we want to move and the next number is the speed

CONGRATULAISION YOU HAVE MADE AN CUBE UNDER YOUR CONTROL

here is the complete program

make object cube 1,100
do
if leftkey()=1 then yROTATE OBJECT 1, OBJECT ANGLE y(1)+1
if rightkey()=1 then zROTATE OBJECT 1, OBJECT ANGLE z(1)+1
if upkey()=1 then xrotate object 1, object angle x(1)+1
if spacekey()=1 then move object 1,10
loop

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT ITS MY FIRST GUIDE

OHH AND WARSHEEP I DIDNT KNOW HOW TO MAKE [/CODE] SO I MADE [/QUETE]

Why didn't ya use the code tags? It gets allot easier to read then..!

Anyways, good for a first guide.... and... since I feel nice today.. +Rep

But I actually expect to see some code tags around the code parts!
( [code] [/ code] without the space between / and code. The code goes between the tags)

[malthi]

sorry didnt know how to do it if i make a new guide i will add them

[warsheep]

The programming sections aren't that much used, this thread has actually gotten a high amount of comments, imo atleast.

You should create some more guides, or work more on this one. Like, a button to break the loop and stuff, so people could learn how to use this in a more needed way, if you get me.

[malthi]

ok..i will try

[warsheep]

Thanks for tagging it inside, its allot easier to read now...! I still look forward to seeing more guides, though..!
