Look at RUCCUS's post stickied in Newcomer's Corner. Specifically look at his function that he made using Sparky's DLL. It's easy to implement and works wonders

If you are asking from the perspective that using your snippet tests between two specific objects and you would to have to repeat that code for every object, then there is an alternative way:



By specifying a zero instead of the number of the object to detect collision with, it changes the way function works. Instead of returning a 0 or 1 it returns the object number of whatever object 1 bumps into.

If you store the returned value in a variable, you only need to do one collision test and use the variable in a Case..Select to decide what to do.

me with making a ai for my fps game

basicly i want to make a tombraider style game

helpfull but i cant find how to get them to chase you and
and attack you

Try AF_Functions,there is a simple AI function wich is quite usefull if i say so myself.

It requires Goga 's free DBP plugin 2 though.(The Function is: AF_SimpleAI,it lets the object follow the player aslong as he is in a certain distance.)

you have to do collision for everything on its own.

not like ALL COLLISIONS ON IN SOFTWARE TO SHOW NOOBINESS

you have to set parameters for all objects.

I have some problems with making collision too still,but well.i figure something out anyway.i have a system on DBP native collision and it works with my movement system.

It isn't hard to create a simple collision system.

That's interesting, I've always just done collision with groups like this.
