There are a few functions in blitz plus that dont work like "Locate" for an example. Thet arnt 3d commands. Does anybody know whats wrong? There are alot of programs that arnt working because of it.

Well..... isnt "locate" a B3D and not a BPlus command


Kyler(Posted 2007) [#3]
No, it's not even in the B3D command reference.

Blitz3D Docs -> 2D - A-Z -> L -> Locate

oh oh what could that be. I think its a command in the B3D command referances


Locate x,y
Parameters:
x=x coordinate on the screen
y=y coordinate on the screen
Description:
Sometimes you want to place the PRINT and Input$ commands at a specific location on the screen. This command locates the 'cursor' to the designated location.
Example:
; Locate example

strName$=Input$("What is your name?")

Locate 100,200

Print "Hello there, " + strName$

I think Kyler is saying that the programs he has written which were 2d in b3d do not automatically translate into blitzplus programs as some of the commands are not in blitzplus - namely locate - which is a part of blitz3d but not blitzplus.

Kyler - locate is not present in blitzplus however with some work it should be possible to use the other text commands.

I agree matty,
I to think he is saying, "This command that isnt in BPlus doesnt work"
