ive imported an object and got it to turn with the mouse, bur it only turns 90 degrees instead of 180 degrees. I cant seem where to put the wrapvalue string. Can anyone help?

Can you show us an example of your code so we know what your doing ? Its hard to help if we do not see what your working with. No need to show ALL your code.. just the part that is relevant to your question.

I've used this in my recent piece of code which might help:

I could be wrong here, but have you tried replacing this line :

cam#=wrapvalue(cam#+mousey()/2)


with this line ?

cam#=wrapvalue(cam#+mousez()/2)

I changed your mouse orientation from Y to Z.

You can't use Mousex() for this. If you want to rotate object with mouse, you must use Mousemovex() because you need movement, not position of the mouse.



Happy to having and using DarkBASIC Professional...

In my code above also I've used floats instead of integers which stops the jerkiness of the mouse movement because I'm dividing the mouses movement by 4.0.

What's the problem? That code works fine for me. I could rotate the object as many times as I wanted by moving the mouse - and in either direction.

Perhaps you aren't moving the mouse correctly?

Per loop only read once the mousemovex() and mousemovey().

Also your object needs its pivot fixing so it points the correct way. When you press "W" I've got it now so it should move forward but your object is at the wrong angle.

I just tested it. It worked for me as well.

I've just compiled his code and it doesn't work. My guess is that the exe in his download (which I tested before) was saved from a different version of the code.

Works fine if you use this instead of the line in his code:

It doesn't help if you wait 13 posts to say that it should point at the mouse..

Indeed.

Edit Try this as your main loop:



There's probably a tidier way of doing it but you've tested our patience enough already.
