i just started messing with limbs, but i keep getting this error "Runtime Error 7026 - You must link limbs in chain sequence at line 9" (line number obviously changes)

whenever i try to use the "add limb" command it gives me that error...and i have no idea what it means

why doesn't this work?

+ Code Snippet

make object cube 1,10

make object cube 2,5
make mesh from object 1,2
delete object 2

add limb 1,1,1
add limb 1,2,1

do
 `poop
loop

Hehe. You have to link libs in chain sequence. In other words your trying to add limb 2 when it should be limb 1. Or something..

that's what the error sounds like but i tried switching it to "2,1" instead of "1,2" but it didn't help...(also other combinations ..as in "0,1" "1,0"...ect)

maybe you could give some slightly more helpfull help? (as in explain what the "right" way is...instead of saying that i'm doing it wrong...which i obviously already know)

that code works but my code doesn't...all i did though was substitute cubes for my models...

[edit] when i compile this code

+ Code Snippet

make object cube 1,10
make object cube 2,5

make mesh from object 1,2
delete object 2

add limb 1,1,1
add limb 1,2,1


xrot=object angle x(1)
yrot=object angle y(1)
zrot=object angle z(1)
move camera 1

do
   cam=0
   if rightkey()=1 then inc yrot
   if leftkey()=1 then dec yrot
   if upkey()=1 then inc zrot
   if downkey()=1 then dec zrot
   if mouseclick()=3
      inc cam,mousemovey()
   else
      inc xrot,mousemovey()
   endif
   inc yrot,mousemovex()

   rotate object 1,xrot,yrot,zrot
   move camera cam
loop

there's no error message...when i use this code (loading two .x models i made)

+ Code Snippet

load object "C:Program FilesMilkShape 3D 1.7.2Lawn Mower.x",1
load object "C:Program FilesMilkShape 3D 1.7.2lawn mower wheel.x",2

make mesh from object 1,2
delete object 2

add limb 1,1,1
add limb 1,2,1


xrot=object angle x(1)
yrot=object angle y(1)
zrot=object angle z(1)
move camera 1

do
   cam=0
   if rightkey()=1 then inc yrot
   if leftkey()=1 then dec yrot
   if upkey()=1 then inc zrot
   if downkey()=1 then dec zrot
   if mouseclick()=3
      inc cam,mousemovey()
   else
      inc xrot,mousemovey()
   endif
   inc yrot,mousemovex()

   rotate object 1,xrot,yrot,zrot
   move camera cam
loop

it gives me that error message and stops the program

[edit2] here's a program using models that come with DBPro

+ Code Snippet

load object "C:Program FilesDark Basic SoftwareDark Basic ProfessionalMediaModelsAsteroidsAST_01.X",1
load object "C:Program FilesDark Basic SoftwareDark Basic ProfessionalMediaModelsAsteroidsAST_02.X",2

make mesh from object 1,2
delete object 2

add limb 1,1,1
add limb 1,2,1


xrot=object angle x(1)
yrot=object angle y(1)
zrot=object angle z(1)
move camera 1

do
   cam=0
   if rightkey()=1 then inc yrot
   if leftkey()=1 then dec yrot
   if upkey()=1 then inc zrot
   if downkey()=1 then dec zrot
   if mouseclick()=3
      inc cam,mousemovey()
   else
      inc xrot,mousemovey()
   endif
   inc yrot,mousemovex()

   rotate object 1,xrot,yrot,zrot
   move camera cam
loop

it also gives an error...so it's not my model's fault

You obviously have more than one limb in that model..

i tried using two of DBPro's asteroid models (which shouldn't have more then one limb) and it produced the same error..

the only way i can include models in the "equation" is by taking a cube anmd linking a model to it (I.E.

+ Code Snippet

make object cube 1,2
load object "C:Program FilesDark Basic SoftwareDark Basic ProfessionalMediaModelsAsteroidsAST_02.X",2


make mesh from object 1,2
delete object 2

add limb 1,1,1
add limb 1,2,1


xrot=object angle x(1)
yrot=object angle y(1)
zrot=object angle z(1)
move camera 1

do
   cam=0
   if rightkey()=1 then inc yrot
   if leftkey()=1 then dec yrot
   if upkey()=1 then inc zrot
   if downkey()=1 then dec zrot
   if mouseclick()=3
      inc cam,mousemovey()
   else
      inc xrot,mousemovey()
   endif
   inc yrot,mousemovex()

   rotate object 1,xrot,yrot,zrot
   move camera cam
loop

)

[edit] nvm, you're right...it turns out the asteroid object has 3 limbs! ...so when i added the next object as number 4 and 5 it worked...(also my lawnmower model has 10 limbs )...thanks for helping!

Actually what I think is probably more confusing is this...

+ Code Snippet

GoSub CreateObject
GoSub CreateObject
GoSub CreateObject

CreateObject:
  make object cube 1,10.0
  make mesh from object 1,1
  for j = 1 to 10
    add limb 1,j,1
  next j
  print "Press Any Key To Continue"
  wait key
  delete object 1
  delete mesh 1
return

that will crash, but not on the first or second loops of it.

there are some very annoying and peculiar bugs in DBP

i think the major factor is the use of gosubs when you should be using functions.

Gosubs need rarely be used, I thought you programmed in c++, you should know better than anyone .. **waves finger up and down at raven**

Try something like this.

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=46092&b=1

A post about this exact same thing in the DBP forum. You have to add the limbs in order. If your object already has say 6 limbs (0 through 5) then the next limb you have to add is number 6.

@lost in thought- you don't understand i wasn't adding the limbs in the wrong "order" at all...i was trying to add a limb where there already was one...

there should be a "Limb already exists" error...(unless you are trying to add limb 13 when you're object only has 2 limbs...in which case it should be "you must link limbs in chain sequence")

If you try to add a limb where one exists then that is in the wrong order

Use the code in that thread and it will check for the next available limb each time you add one. Keeping them in "order".

[edit] And there is a limb exist command so you could just start with limb 1 and work your way up until it doesn't exist.
