i loaded a car from darkmatter into my latest game, and it is facing the wrong way. i use the "yrotate object" to get it facing the way i want, but when i press left or right, the object suddenly points in the original direction.

+ Code Snippet

load object "car.x",1
yrotate object 1,180
do
if upkey()=1 then move object 1,5
if downkey()=1 then move object 1,-5
if leftkey()=1 then turn object left 1,3
if rightkey()=1 then turn object right 1,3
loop

I am a Christian and I know that God loves me. That is what makes my life so great!

Try adding FIX OBJECT PIVOT to your code. Once you rotate the object to
the newly disired angle, this will make that angle the new absolute zero.

+ Code Snippet

load object "car.x",1
yrotate object 1,180
fix object pivot 1
do
if upkey()=1 then move object 1,5
if downkey()=1 then move object 1,-5
if leftkey()=1 then turn object left 1,3
if rightkey()=1 then turn object right 1,3
loop

Thanks, D, that worked perfectly.
