if you wanted to make a 1st person shooter game (Quake, Doom, Halo, etc.) that is single player (so you dont have to make a object for the player) so you just position the gun1 in the center of the screen, and you want it to beable to switch the gun when you press buttons 1-3, how would you do it?.
would you do something like this?: (this isnt actual code, i am just learning DB and i cant remember all the commands right off the top of my head )

gun = 1
if keypress 1 then gun = 1 `if you push the [1] key
if keypress 2 then gun = 2
if keypress 3 then gun = 3
position object gun x,y,z `where ever

then you have the camera move when you press the arrows blah blah blah

is that how you would do it?

ok, i tried that. just basicly. made a matrix, made an object (cyldr) and used the method in the 3d monster tutorial thing, for moving the object. and made it so when i pressed down, it changed from cyndr to cube, to sphere, then back to cyndr. using if var>3 then var=1 or something similar. but what it did was, when i pressed down. the cyndr froze where it was, then the cube started to move, then it just kept doing that. so i tried hiding the object, but then it disabled my left and right keys for some reason. i dont have code right now (its on the other computer) but ill get it tomarrow after i get home from school. but any help on what to do is welcomed!!

just load all your gun models and put them in position then hide all but 1 of them, if they change weapons show the one the select and hide the old one

or if your using DBC follow the tutorial on a simple FPS that helped me a ton!

"Nintendo GameCube is the best" and "DarkBasic is the best program for PC's"
