I want to get my object (object 6) to, when you press up, start rotating forward towards the ground. However, I need it to start rotating slowly and speed up. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanx.

Try something like...

If Upkey()=1 Then TSpeed#=TSpeed#+0.01 Else TSpeed#=TSpeed#/1.03
Pitch Object Down 6,TSpeed#

Well... I hope that helps...

The question is, why am I talking to myself? ...... And more importantly, why am I waiting for a reply?

use something that would check the object rotation. Use the command object angle x(1) to check the angle. Your thing should look almost like this:

rx#=object angle x(1)
If rx#<5 then pitch object down 1,1
if rx#<10 and rx#>5 then pitch object down 1,2
if rx#<15 and rx#>10 then pitch object down 1,3

etc...etc...
this should work

Thanks Gamekit and Sarin. Both of you helped a lot. Game kit, your code worked great and Sarin, I've found another use for Sarins' so thanks.

Gamekit - Is there a way I can get my object to rotate back to zero gradually as well. That way, when you release the joystick/upkey the object will rotate back to 0 degrees.
