well i have tried to use the search button and again I couldn't find the answer so I fiquired I would ask one of you good people.
here is my code so far


For x = 1 to 75
Make object cube x,100
Position object x,Rnd(500),rnd(500),Rnd(500)
Next x

hide object x

basically I'm trying to effect more than one object at a time without having to actually right it all out. I'm trying to use variable for the number. bu0t I still get an error.

wind27382,

The problem is the hide object x command you have written. In the for loop you create 75 items, which works perfectly. However, the next x increases the x variable yet one more time after the last object is created. Therefore, you are actually trying to hide object number 76, which is not created in this for loop...which casts an error because the object does not exist.

If you are wanting to hide the last object created in this for loop using the method you have chosen, then change hide object x to hide object x-1. I hope I have helped you understand this problem a bit better. Happy coding!

To hide all the objects, you just need to put the 'hide object x' inside the for-next loop. But I'm probably misunderstanding, because that seems too obvious

yea I know that I could place it in the for next loop. but the problem I was having was that i wanted to be able to unhide them all at the same time. such as if a person pressed the one key.

Just put something like this in your main loop:

wind27382,

You might want to work on communicating from the start your problem a bit better. We could have helped you in one reply if we fully understood that you wanted to hide all objects at once, and show them all at once at the press of a key(which you didn't even mention until later). Just a thought.

wind27382,

No problem. It's just easier to get to the point as fast as is possible.
