What''s wrong with this code. I want to make it so you can walk aroung like real life but it isn''t working ''Code Begins Here '' ''**************** Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) Select Case KeyCode Case vbKeyUp xpos = xpos + Sine(faceang) zpos = zpos + Cose(faceang) Case vbKeyDown xpos = xpos - Sine(faceang) zpos = zpos - Cose(faceang) Case vbKeyLeft faceang = faceang - 5 Case vbKeyRight faceang = faceang + 5 End Select If faceang <= -1 Then faceang = faceang + 360 If faceang >= 360 Then faceang = faceang - 360 Form_Paint Form2.Label1 = "X - " & xpos Form2.Label2 = "Z - " & zpos Form2.Label3 = "Ang - " & faceang End Sub Private Sub Form_Load() Dim hGLRC As Long SetupPixelFormat hDC hGLRC = wglCreateContext(hDC) wglMakeCurrent hDC, hGLRC For i = 0 To 359 Sine(i) = Sin((i * 3.145) / 180) Cose(i) = Cos((i * 3.145) / 180) Next i glEnable GL_LIGHTING glEnable GL_LIGHT0 glEnable GL_DEPTH_TEST glEnable GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT glClearColor 0, 0, 0, 0 Form2.Show End Sub Private Sub Form_Paint() glClear GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT Or GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT glMatrixMode GL_MODELVIEW glPushMatrix glTranslatef xpos, 0, zpos glRotatef faceang, 0, 1, 0 glPushMatrix glutSolidCube 10 glTranslatef 10, 5, 1 glutWireSphere 5, 9, 9 glPopMatrix glPopMatrix SwapBuffers hDC End Sub Private Sub Form_Resize() glViewport 0, 0, Form1.ScaleWidth, Form1.ScaleHeight glMatrixMode GL_PROJECTION glLoadIdentity gluPerspective 60, Form1.ScaleWidth / Form1.ScaleHeight, 1, 100 glMatrixMode GL_MODELVIEW glLoadIdentity End Sub ''**************** '' ''Code Ends Here

It''s in VB? Thats about all I can think of

Simple! You are adding using degrees. Sin and Cos (I don''t think Sine and Cose are functions) accept parameters in RADIANS. Add 0.05 or so... 360 degrees in radians is pi*2.

Zer,
The array of sine(359) and cose(359) are changed from radians to degrees

>>For i = 0 To 359
>>Sine(i) = Sin((i * 3.145) / 180)
>>Cose(i) = Cos((i * 3.145) / 180)
>>Next i

I think that a closer approximation of pi is 3.14159. You seem to have missed a 1 between your 4 and 5

3.141592653586

Was that out of memory or calculator?

Calc says: 3.1415926535897932384626433832795

Enough on the pi already eh. :D
any way, i figured you need to put the rotatef before the transalatef.

Or do you.....?

-Jamie

Of course that is the way you have to do it... for example, if you translate everything 100 units away, they all will get rotated around <0,0,0> and that would make it appear in some really weird places. Makes sense to rotate first and THEN translate it

When I try this out it still doesn''t work though.
I don''t know why. I have made something where I can walk around in 3D before but I droped my 4.3gb HDD so I had to buy a 20gig

I lost all my stuff that I made. Even though it wasn''t very good I could still use it to look at for examples.

When I do this It translates weird when I go to walk, It is like I am walking but facing a different direction.
