hovering a ship

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/hovering a ship

I must be totaly stupid here. I have looked up the Pickedx() command and I STILL cannot figure it out.

I cannot make head nor tale of the example inlcuded with the PickedX() command, all I see is a set of apparently random numbers which bear no resembleance to any distances that I can use to make a ship hover. It does have the Linepick command in it so I cannot see how that fits into it either.

Sorry if I sound totaly dumb here, but I just cannot see how this works at all at the moment...
