I'm trying to make a program where you just move an aerpolane around on top of a background. The problem is, DB thinks the front of the object is it's side. Here's what I've got so far:



Can anyone tell me how to change it so that the front of the aeroplane's front isn't its right wing?

I know this program is very primitive, but I'm just practising.

BTW, I've just tried to put the background in. I entered the following line:



The picture wont show up in the background. How do I get it to show up?

You need to texture the backdrop or make it a sprite...

I've tried texturing the back ground by putting in:

texture backdrop 1

The problem here is, is the picture has split into 6 around the screen.

I then tried:

sprite 3,0,0,2

This made the picture fill the screen, but I can't see the helicopter. (I changed the model).

Erm, well, try making a seemless texture and using that as the backdrop image. That's the only thing i can suggest, sorry...

To change the angle of the plane do this:
YROTATE OBJECT PLANE,90
FIX OBJECT PIVOT PLANE


if that doesn't work, change the 90 to 270.

Hope I Helped...

As for your backdrop problems try loading the background image as a bitmap and then copying that to bitmap 0. Like this:
