now I have gone back to my code and got the 3dphysics character ontroller working, I am wondering how would you use it to continuesly move the object,like in a platformer, if I simply put:

+ Code Snippet

		if getrawkeypressed(KEY_LEFT)
			Move3DPhysicsCharacterController( player, 3, 1.5 )
			
		endif
		if getrawkeypressed(KEY_RIGHT)
			Move3DPhysicsCharacterController( player, 4, 1.5 )
			 
		endif

it moves once either way but no further

Try GetRawKeyState () instead...

well, I have tried allsorts! Has anyone got a small example for me of using the 3d character control, moving it about with a virtual joystick and having it jump around?

Your walk velocity is too low, try 72.0
Also you will need to use GetRawKeyState () so it will call the Move3DPhysicsCharacterController() command
while the key is held down.

global rotationInc as float
frotationInc = 1.0
global finalRotation as float
 
function CharacterControllerInput( objID as integer, walkVelocity as float)
	if GetKeyboardExists() 
		//Stops movement when no key is pressed.
		Move3DPhysicsCharacterController( objID, 0, WalkVelocity )
		//W Key Forwards
		if GetRawKeyState( 87 ) 
			Move3DPhysicsCharacterController( objID, 1, WalkVelocity )
		endif
		//S key Backwards
		if GetRawKeyState( 83 ) 
			Move3DPhysicsCharacterController( objID, 2, WalkVelocity )
		endif
		//A Key Strafe Left
		if GetRawKeyState( 65 ) 
			Move3DPhysicsCharacterController( objID, 3, WalkVelocity )
		endif
		//D Key Strafe Right
		if GetRawKeyState( 68 ) 
			Move3DPhysicsCharacterController( objID, 4, WalkVelocity )
		endif
		//SpaceBar Jump
		if GetRawKeyPressed( 32 ) 
			Jump3DPhysicsCharacterController( objID )
		endif
		//Q Key For Rotate
		if GetRawKeyState( 81 ) 
			finalRotation = finalRotation - rotationInc
		endif
		//E Key For Rotate
		if GetRawKeyState( 69 ) 
			finalRotation = finalRotation + rotationInc
		endif
		Rotate3DPhysicsCharacterController( objID, finalRotation )
	endif
endfunction

+ Code Snippet

global rotationInc as float
frotationInc = 1.0
global finalRotation as float
 
function CharacterControllerInput( objID as integer, walkVelocity as float)
	if GetKeyboardExists() 
		//Stops movement when no key is pressed.

okay, thanks for the help, I cannot seem to get it working within the editor, god knows why!! I created another project to try all I have so far along with your code, it seems to have a jittery issue:

The variable on line 16 was misspelled, this caused the rotation not to work.
Moved positioning of camera to after Step3DPhysicsWorld().

New problem with the character controller..
I can't move on two axes simultaneously. The code below doesn't work. Instead it forgets about the first command and just moves on the X-Axis.

+ Code Snippet

Move3DPhysicsCharacterController(Ship[1].Model, 1, Ship[1].ZSpeed) 
Move3DPhysicsCharacterController(Ship[1].Model, 4, Ship[1].XSpeed)
