hi im new to dark basic i really much more enjoy this then codeing with C++ and i was wondering i tried to set it up so i can move it with more then just the up and down and left and right keys, so i tried to attach it to like the a key for example but i get an error when i compile it saying variable a keydoesnt exist in this program, heres my code:

Rem Setup sync
Sync On
Sync Rate 30

Rem Create 5 cubes and place randomly
For x = 1 to 5
Make object cube x,100
Position object x,Rnd(2000),0,Rnd(2000)
Next x

Rem Main loop

Do

Rem Store camera angle

caY#= Camera angle Y()
caX#= Camera angle X()

Rem Control input for camera movement
If Upkey()=1 then Move camera 10
If Leftkey()=1 then Yrotate Camera Wrapvalue(caY#-5)
If Rightkey()=1 then Yrotate Camera Wrapvalue(caY#+5)
if Downkey()=1 then Xrotate Camera Wrapvalue(caX#+5)
if aKey()=1 then Xrotate Camera Wrapvalue(caX#-5)

Rem Refresh Screen
Sync
Loop

For x = 1 to 5
Make object cube x,100
Position object x,Rnd(2000),0,Rnd(2000)
Next x


how do i do the a key thing to work?

Where the aKey() is (line 25), you should replace this with inkey$() and you will be able to get a string with the letter pressed. If you don't know all the keycodes for the keys, you might want to try the following code:



also to try and make it easier on you, you might want to replace lines 22-24 with the code:



or you can just use:
Control camera using arrowkeys Camera Number, MoveSpeed, TurnSpeed

replace akey() with keystate(30)

it realy depends on what you want akey() to be. if it is ment to be any key then id replace that line with
if upkey()=0 and downkey()=0 and leftkey()=0 and rightkey()=0 and scancode()>0 then......
otherwise i cant help you unless you tell me what akey is supposed to detect for
