Can somebody just give me the command, if there is one anyways.

Edgar,

Would I just say:

load image "cursor.bmp",1
sync on : sync rate 0 : hide mouse
do
postion 1,mousex(),mousey()
sync
loop

or is there even a 'position' command?

Cheers,

Dont use CLS, its bad. Sprites should automatically refresh their background. If not, use SET SPRITE and look at the backsave state. Set it to whatever is 'I'll refresh my background on my own' cant remember if its 0 or 1, as you already have the sync command refreshing everything for you.

And please please please please PLEASE use the edit button for all thats good and holy

ok I'll use the edit button,
and I'll take out the cls,
and also I added, so when you click th left mouse button a little explosion appears in the middle of your cross hairs like you fired the guns. I also added sound. My next task will probably be to have a screen with aliens or terrorists and when you shoot at them a blood splatter appears where you shoot. I don't know exactly how to do this but I think I might just use the:

if mousex()>10 and mousex()<10 and mousey()>10 and mousey()<10
paste image 2(dead alienterrorist),10,10
else
sprite 3(fire explosion thing),mousex(),mousey(),3
endif

EDIT: (I don't know if I got the > and < facing the right way, but I'll figure that out.)


I'm gonna put that in if it's right.

EDIT: P.S. I used the edit thing in this post!!!
Thanks again!

> and < are basic math opperators O_O What math experience do you have from school and stuff?

The way you have it set up, it will fail miserably. That literraly translates to:

If mouse x cordinate is greater then 10, and mouse x cordinate is less then 10 and mouse y cordinate is greater then 10, and mouse y cordinate is less then 10, so your checking for a non-existant area.

If your doing a 3D game, youll want to look into finding where your mouse cordinate's appear in 3D Space. Nuclear Glory Collision DLL is -great- for this, it even has examples in the demo on how to do this. It makes it very easy to position bullet holes and find bullet collisions anywhere in 3D space or even on another model. I highly suggest it for how cheap it is.

Look around in the code base, I dont have a compiler/or any time to code here in study hall, but that should get you started.

Yea that's what I meant when I said that I didn't think I got them right!
My code eould be:


Now I got it right, I mean I've done that before to make a menu for a game, and I just never can remember which way they go.

Also, RPGamer can I get Nuclear Glory Collision DLL for free or how much is it?
