Hello everyone,

I've been surfing this site for about a week taking in as much as possible. Just signed up today and decided to post my first question.

I am having difficulties loading up an external object. I don't know necessarily if it's a object loading problem as I do not get any errors. When I click the "Make exe/run" (using DBPro) it loads and goes to the black screen... then automatically comes back to my coding window.

This is my code,

+ Code Snippet

function makePlayer()
   load object "model1.mdl",2
   position object 2,500,500,500
   sc_setupObject 2,0,1

   rem player has no group
endfunction

Any help would be great! I'm able to create an object no problem but having difficulties loading one up.

Assuming you use DBPro, and that's the whole code you have, then no wonder it's quiting as soon as the model has loaded

If you have more code I don't think you've giving enough detail to locate the problem. But if that is indeed the only code you have then as a test try to do this and see if it works:

+ Code Snippet

sync on
sync rate 60

load object "model.mdl",1

do

sync
loop

I haven't had any experience with the use of mdl formats myself, so I don't know how well they are supported by DBPro(even though it is one of the official supported model formats)

You would have to call the function "makePlayer()" or else the computer never runs it
