reseting rotation when using show/hide entity
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/reseting rotation when using show/hide entity
| ||
| Hello all: I posted this to the programming forum, but might be more appropriate here. I am sure this is a very simple question, but I have not been able to solve it, I am not a great coder. I am using show/hide entity, so only one entity is present in window at a time. I want to use the same keys to rotate whatever entity is visible, but the way I have it set up, each newly shown entity inherits the rotation values of the previous one. I cannot get the rotation values to reset when I switch from hide to showentity. Seems like a simple thing, but none of my attempts worked. I have pasted sample code below. Any help would be deeply appreciated. BTW, you can see some of my futile attempts, commented out. (The "jordan" and "karen" in the commented code are globals from previous code attempts, could be replaced with redcube, yellowcube, bluecube.)
