I think your gonna need to post a little code mate..

as for problem 1. I think you need to use the command to find the matrix level for your x,z position.. srry don't remeber the command off the top of my head.

as for problem 2 you need to have the text timed to display for a specific amount of time. ie

do
timer = 100
If timer >0 then text 10,10, "level up"
dec timer
sync
loop

as for 3. I haven't got a clue....

'Ooh 'eck chief'...'crumbs'

prob 1)
the command penfold is looking for is
Get Matrix Height(Matrix Number, x position, y position)
so you would use it like this:

+ Code Snippet

make matrix 1,500,500,20,20
make object cube 1,10
xpos# = Object position x(1)
zpos# = Object position z(1)
ypos# = Get Matrix Height(1,xpos#,zpos#)
Position Object 1,xpos#,ypos#,zpos#

put that code in the main game loop and that way the object will never go through the matrix. same thing for the camera. you can add a little to the ypos# to make your camera have some height.

+ Code Snippet

Position Object 1,xpos#,ypos#+30,zpos#

Prob 2)
you need to print your message to the screen once each time the loop is run.

Prob 3)
Have no idea what you are asking!

Hope that helped.

If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done!

ok look first we need the code so we can see how u set stuff up we cant just guess there would be to many posible ways to fix it

second we need more detailed explanations

Quote: "made a platform to stand on and i want it to move slowly upwards sort of like a lift"

that isnt even a question!!

and three we need exact error messages....if u want us to help you, you have to help us first by giving us stuff to work with

#edit - with number 2 i guess its close to being a question but u should add on ", how can i do this" its just plain rude how you ask for stuff

soz about beind so vauge

ive put the lvl code here > -

rem show lvl up and start character back on 0%
if exp => 100
`gosub disable_all_spells

lvl = lvl + 1
cls
set cursor 0,0
print "what skill do you wish to aquire:"
print
print "1) ogre's strength (extra strength)"
print 
print "2) mana chant (more mana)"

print "3) elven stamina (more stamina)"
print 
input "1,2 or 3>",lvlup
if lvlup = 1
str = str + (str / 10)
stam = stam + (stam / 10)
stammax = stammax + (stammax / 10)
mana# = mana# + (mana# / 10)
manamax = manamax + (manamax / 10)
health# = health# + (health# / 10)

if lvlup => 4
print "that is not a choice"

endif
endif
endif
endif

healthmax = healthmax + (healthmax / 10)
exp = 0
else
if lvlup => 4
print "that is not a choice"
endif
endif
endif
endif
endif

if n e 1 could fix it so the text stays on the screen for more than 1/2 a sec it would be appicated.

thx

and the solid matrix thing doesnt work i can still walk through the sides here the code for the char

+ Code Snippet

if race$ = "elf"
make object sphere 1,40
position object 1,2000,-480,1000
endif

that code was me making the char (so far its a sphere making models later)

and this is how i control it and the other stuff

+ Code Snippet

rem control player
if upkey() = 1
move camera forward
move object 1,forward
endif
if downkey() = 1
move camera -30
move object 1,-30
endif
if leftkey()=1 then turn object left 1,5
if rightkey() = 1 then turn object right 1,5

this is get the position of the object for the camera

+ Code Snippet

rem Get back position of object for camera object position x,y and z just
`tells the comp where the object is
pitch object down 1,11
move object 1,-150
position object 2,object position x(1),object position y(1),object position z(1)
move object 1,150
pitch object up 1,11

rem Place camera and set orientation to object
position camera object position x(2),object position y(2),object position z(2)
set camera to object orientation 1

also the qu earlier about the lift was i make a platform and i want it to decent up so my char can get to the top of the cliff kk

so far this is a 40 page game but not even half done

its going to be abit like morrowind except better

and more stuff to do

i tested the code myself...so i dunno what ur doing thats wrong...
ok i just recomplied it and it works...if u copy that straight into a new db project and run it it should work then u can work out what uv done wrong

hmm with the matrix... lets see
make a check to see if the matix height in the next step forward is higher then where you are at the moment if the difference is say over 5 then stop the movement

Travis: Not needed.

M8- Have you tried putting

Y#=Get Ground Height(1,Object Position X(1),Object Position Z(1))

In your loop? Then position your character at that Y height?

rpg - yeah i guess...

slurch - ok look that code will work if you can impliment it properly, because i have wait commands in the code aswell as the input command it will pause the proccesing so no matter where it is in your program it will stop and be displayed how ever fast the program is running

and in my oppinion if you cant get a simple text setup like that working the way you want then maybe you should practise on easyier stuff first before embarking on a 40 page program/game
