The problem is because you pretty much reset the transformation (all the movements) matrix with the loadidentity call...... and after you have done your own custom transformations, you reset it again and do some more.. before the object is drawn.. so the code you used to have control over the translation doesn''t do jack..

Well first off, after setting the translation for movement you load the identity matrix again which kills that previous translation. Now, thats what happens assuming this code is exactly as it appears in your program.

If this is not the problem then I''ll be happy to take another look once you provide more code.

-out

GLuint DrawGLWindow(){
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT|GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

glLoadIdentity();

if(keys[VK_UP])
{
z+=1.0f;
}
if(keys[VK_DOWN])
{
z-=1.0f;
}

glTranslatef(x,y,z);
glRotatef(move,0.0f,1.0f,1.0f);

p.SolidCube(1.0f);

move+=1.0f;

return TRUE;
}

What you wanna do is make the glTranslate call after the input is gathered so that the new Z value will be used. Also for a single object, only make one call to glLoadIdentity at the beginning of drawing each object to reset the modelview matrix before moving an object each frame. Your second call to glLoadIdentity would wipe out the translation before it, and end up only applying your rotation.

Give that a shot.
