For a MATRIX, use PREPARE MATRIX TEXTURE. For a box or any other object, use TEXTURE OBJECT. Highlight a command and press F1 in the editor to look it up.

Yes it does work. If you read the entire tutorial (the page I sent you) it shows you how to texture the Matrix.

Step 1
Make the Matrix


Step 2
Load the image


Step 3
Prepare the Texture
Using the "prepare matrix texture" command it will take an image and split it into sections. If you only have a image that has 1 texture you would use it like so


Step 4
Add the texture to each tile on the matrix


Step 5
Finally we have to update the matrix


Please correct me if i am wrong as i havent tried this in darkbasic or anything (at work atm)

Here are some helpful hints.

1. Spell correctly, it is very hard to help some one who cannot even put the word "one" or "you"
I doubt everyone here is as kind as myself when they see spelling like that. So spell your words out.

2. Use the EDIT POST in the forum instead of making 3 or 5 different posts. Post count does not matter here.

3. Press F1 while in darkbasic's IDE. Read the help manual, almost every command is in here and they tell you how to use it.

4. Follow tutorials, I sent you a link that went fully into all of the things you needed. Take some time and follow them, don't expect others to give you full code.

With all that said (hope i didnt cross the line), download the example from this post. All i did was change the number 10 in the SET MATRIX TILE to a 1.
The last number is the tile you want to use from the PREPARE MATRIX TEXTURE.

I am using 1 because we only have 1 tile, if we had 2 (grass and sand) 1 would be grass, 2 would be sand if they are from left to right.

Sorry to give you a little lecture but I hope you learn something
