Hi
Should I use Dark physics for a RTS game movement?
If yes, how would I do it?

Example code please

You can use the dark physics raytrace commands, to get the ground height etc. Do this by calling a raytrace, then subtracting the raytrace value from the characters position. That will return the grounds height/y pos below the player

Don't bother, there are easy ways to make an RTS with pure DBP code rather than implementing DarkPhysics.

I'd say go with Dark Physics, as it allows physical, moving objects to be pushed around and such

I'd say it's a waste for most parts of an RTS. Use it maybe for explosion debri, but that's about the only use I see for it.

Or for fluid weapons if you have a PhyX card
