Z Depth Expression

Hello I'm trying to do a space shooter 3D, I'm for 4-5 hours looking here and there, but I don't found anything.

What I need I think is simple for who's understand math.

An expression to move the depth of a 3d model slightly.

This is the image, I think the rest I can handle with them.

But the simple thing as math always stucks me, LOL.

Thanks by now.

Here's a basic solution(i'm assuming you mean the z position?)

Your 3d object has a setting > Properties > Settings > Z (underneath Depth)

This will propably set at zero, unless you have already changed it.

Give your 3d obect a private variable called 'zpos', and set its value to the objects initial 'Z' setting.

+ System: Start of layout

-> 3dthing: Set 'zpos' to 0   (or whatever its currently set at)

+ Button: On Button clicked   (I'm using a button to move it)

-> 3dthing: Add 10 to 'zpos'

+ System: Always (every tick)

-> 3dthing: Set Z to 3dthing.Value('zpos')

So everytime you click the button, the 3d object will move 10 units.

Hope this helps

(Nice graphics!)

Perfect chrisbrobs!

In my search I found a tank sim yours! Very good work!

As my idea was the sky moves not the ship I made some changes using your idea:
