Ok let me start off with I am very very sorry. i was in a hurry for work when i made the post so i will edit it now.


Ok so i am in a programming class. I have done an awesome job at completing my game the way its supposed to be made.
But now i wish to go beyond course requirements.

my first problem was making collision boxes on a second floor in the game... what i mean by this is i have the main floor then i have stairs to a second floor, but i cannot seem to get my collision code to work right for the second floor and u just fall through it.

and my second problem i solved today in class, sort of i want to put a rotating texture on the can.
`the can is a can of soda that u play as. its brand is carbonade.
`thus the game name carbonade
so i guess what i am trying to say is can some help explain to me how to create floors above floors like in buildings.
and if u can even can have rotating textures on the object that u play as and how.

there hopefully its easier to read now. and i read the sticky and i will try to follow the rules to the best of my ability's.

um not in the mood to make a kool pic

Why not try posting that message again, but in English so we can actually understand what your problem is.

I read it quite a few times and all I know for certain is that you are 'in a programming class' and you are a 'noob'.

I suggest that you read the stickies at the top of this board and in particular, look at the ones marked as tutorials.

There's also a button marked 'Search' up in the top right corner. (You can often find answers yourself much quicker than waiting for someone else to answer your post - if they can understand them that is)!

I'm with TDK on this one, I can't figure out what this kid is saying. It's like he took random fragments from other posts and mashed them together in random order. I know we might sound harsh, but how can one expect to learn a programming language when they have yet to master their native tongue?

Don't take everyone's comments too badly kid - there are strict anti-flaming laws on these boards, so as soon as a mod leads the way, everyone's going to pile in for a quick kick - "well they can't ban us for that..."

On the other hand, rereading your original post (which I thought I almost understood at first), my sole reply must be "wotchoo chattin baht?"

Even though Jakester570's avatar is coca cola English is certainly not his first language. Or, our schools in USA are really, really getting bad with teaching English as a first language.

I'm sure you will get some help, Jakester570, if you can actually tell us what difficulties you are having and what the question is.

I wouldn't be so quick to rule out the possibility that our public school system here in the US sucks. I met a 6th grader once who thought that the correct spelling of the word "blue" was "bloo"

What did you say?

OK, if your typing sucks, I can buy that. It's hard to type quickly with one finger when you're in a hurry. I understand. I'll look at your revised first post again tomorrow.

Your second attempt was much better!

In a hurry myself at the moment and the second floor level problem needs a bit of time to answer (I'll have a go later when I get back if no-one else beats me to it).

As for the rotating textures, you can't rotate, but you can scroll them on the X and Y axis using the Scroll Object Texture command.

The only thing you won't find immediately obvious about the command in the help files is that DB treats the whole texture as 1.0 units in size on both axis.

So, if you scroll by the value of 1 you won't see any scrolling at all. If you scroll by .1 there will be 10 steps before the complete texture has scrolled over the object.

For smooth scrolling, just experiment with values starting around 0.001 and check out the difference. It does however depend on where the scroll command is called in your program as to the final scroll speed.
