| I see this function in the Blitzplus command reference, but when I try to use it I get a function not found error. Is my copy Blitz on the fritz or is this a known bug? Is there another way to acomplish what locate is supposed to do? Thanks. |

| hm.. uhm.. I don't see any Locate in my B+ ... o_O try: Text 80,32,"whiskey!" |

| LOCATE was a Blitz2D command. In BlitzPlus you use the TEXT command to print text at a specific screen coordinate: Text 400, 0, "Hello There!" |
| ||
| Curious, if it is not a Blitzplus command, then why is it in the Blitzplus command reference? (Scatching head in wonder). |
| ||
| It isn't! |
| ||
| Give us a hint, what section of the reference do you see it in? |
| ||
| I have just had a look as well and I cannot find it either. Typing in the LOCATE command into the IDE should get highlighed if it is in the command set, but it doesn't. This suggests that the command does not exist. Is Jay getting a little mixed up with QBasic or another form of Basic? |
| ||
| Sounds like Jay hasn't updated his B+ in quite a while. Locate was in the first registered version of B+, and was removed in v1.34 or so. Solution: Update your B+ .exe and docs. |Edit| That is why fontheight() function doesn't work either. (see thread: www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=42395) |/Edit| |
