if spacekey=1 then delete object 1

it tells me "object does not exist".

The deal is that it deletes object, but space key is detected in more than one pass of loop. Simply check object still exists when you press key. Please note proper syntax of make object cube and spacekey()

make object cube 1,20
do
if spacekey()=1 and object exist(1) then delete object 1
loop

He was prolly thinking of the Box command .

You might also want to add Sync On at the beginning and Sync in your loop... elsewhise your program will stutter, flicker, and run slower...

this is at the end of my game's loop:

if object hit(2,3) and object exist(3) then delete object 3


2 is the bullet, 3 is the tank. global collision is on. it tells me "object does not exist"

okay heres my entire source.
it shuts down as soon as it compile and it tells me,"runtime error 7008: object does not exist at line 21" the same code works perfectly in DBC

Change to:



Your biggest problem was the odd '=' sign you had in collision expression.

Also, do not test for collision between two objects if one of the objects may not exist. Unfortunately DBPro tests both sides of AND condition even of first condition is false, otherwise you could have just said:



Also make sure bullet moves in steps less than size of tank otherwise it will pass right through it without coliding!
