do
if upkey()=1 then position object 1,ypos#,xpos#+0.1,0
if downkey()=1 then position object 1,ypos#,xpos#-0.1,0
if rightkey()=1 then position object 1,ypos#+0.1,xpos#,0
if leftkey()=1 then position object 1,ypos#-0.1,xpos#,0
sync
loop

I want the object to be moving smootly up, down,left and right, but when i press the key it just "jerks" in that direction and stops, and also doesnt go any further if you keep on pressing the same button, i couldnt find anything to say that this wouldnt work in any tutorials and that though..so, any advice? XD

Try



I dont think this'll solve your speed problem, but it will solve moving only once.

Whatever I did I didn't do it!

Also, I think you confused x# and y# when using position object.

I think Rich is working on the edit function.
Also, I also got confused between the x# and z# coordinates. This code actually works. Good luck

XD, well that works, doesnt get the result i wanted though, but i can easily edit it XD

(i wanted the object, which is a space ship, to stay in the same z position but move up, down left and right to dodge incoming objects XD, ooh well *goes to edit*)

Rich! Please hurry up with the edit function!
I'm making a fool of myself

Ok, change y# in y#+0.01 and y#y#-0.01 to x#
x# moves sidewards
y# moves up and down
z# move forward and backward
