I am working on a car project and right now everything looks good but I cannot make the wheels of the car to move. The models I am using came with dark gdk in the game creators folder.

It is a .x file and when I open the file it shows the vehicle rotating the wheels but for some reason when I imported to my code it doesnt move at all.

How can I make 'em rotate??

Any help will be appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

have you called dbPlayObject (i think that's the name of it) you need to call a function to make the animation play. its in the help file, something like playObject, playAnimation, something.

-to the optimist, the glass is half full. to the pessimist, it is half empty, to the engineer, it is twice as big as it needs to be.

These are the only two I could find, but when I am using it, it does not play the motion of the wheel maybe I am doing something wrong.

Please tell me how to use this functions.

dbPlayObject : void dbPlayObject ( int iObject )
&
dbObjectPlaying : int dbObjectPlaying ( int iObject )

Thanks in advance

using preform check limb, find how many the car has then work out which ones to rotate.

limbs numbers 5, 7, 3, 9

so it will be something like this

ROTATE LIMB Object Number, Limb Number, XAngle, YAngle, ZAngle
so would like
ROTATE LIMB 1, 5, 0,wrapvalue(limb angle(1,5)+1),0

change the above to work in gdk as this how I would do it in basic.

Thanks so much 3D Master for helping me out. I finally make it work.

For reference just in case somebody wants to know the exact commands I use.

dbRotateLimb : void dbRotateLimb ( int iObject, int iLimb, float fX, float fY, float fZ )

Here it comes:

float Limb4Xbr = 15.0f;

Limb4Xbr = Limb4Xbr + 10;
dbRotateLimb (4, 5, Limb4Xbr, 0.0f, 0.0f);

This is only for the back right wheel of the vehicle then it is just a matter of repeating it to the other wheels.

Again thanks so much " 3DMaster " for your help and your knowledge. I really appreciated it

Your welcome.

Only know how to do the above working with DarkPhysX.


By the way the forum name is Howdo , 3D Master is a title you can have for a month, you can win it in 3 Dimensional Chat forum making models.

So if you think you might be able to do something pop in and have a look.

I noticed the 4x4's wheels rotate good at frames 5-25. So I use

And to control how fast the wheels move I do
