is there a way to rotate objects properly without using TURN, ROLL and PITCH.
For instance...

the yrotate bit works but the xrotate always seems to use the cameras position to work out the X ANGLE of the object, is there any way around this. remember, it is for DBC

What orientation do you want to rotate the objects around?

DarkBASIC uses a rotation system called Euler Angles.

All objects are rotated around the global axis from 0 every loop. This means the X rotation looks local but the y and z global.

wha??

So X rotation is local, or just appears to be local but is actually global?
