mi trying to create a game in dark basic pro and ive comes across this problem.

i was trying to load in my .x file air ship and tryed using the position object
point object
and rotatie object commands but it never tuens the ship so that what you see is the back of the ship instead of the side of the ship.

heres the command im using

Rem Player Character
load object "S:\comptech\ComputerScience\2ndPeriod\Xavier_Kyle\102813_Xavier\carbonade project\carbonade code\images\ship.x",1
scale object 1,50,70,50
texture object 1,87
position object 1,0,500,0
make object collision box 1,-25,-35,-25,25,35,25,0
rotate object 1,500,90,90
point object 1,90,900,25

with this current code all i see is the side of the ship

When you rotate an object then point it, your actually cancelling out your rotation and relying on it's default orientation.

Once you rotate it, use FIX OBJECT PIVOT 1 - this will lock the objects rotation, then pointing or rotating should be more sensible. You might want to do some experiments to get the rotation stuff right, it's vital knowledge for DBPro.

500? It should be a number between 0-360...
