hey, i have a noobish question but i cant find an answere anyware. I have my level with platforms on it becouse the player needs to go up this time. But i cant set collision on the object becouse the player walks on it and sliding collision would affect the player controls. So what i need to do is detect if the player has touched a rampish part of the platform and apply sliding collision. BTW its 3d and im using the built in DBP commands. Thanks for any help. I have another map with out any ramps and that workd fine.

Thanks,
Dark Donkey

Okay i thought i had solved it. My method was to position the object not touchign the level but so close that it looked like it was so when it collided it had to be touching the ramp. So i though if collision occures i could just position it higher along the y axis so i put this in y loop:



But it just returnes my to the place i started. Any ideas to why this happens?.

[EDIT]

Okay i forgot to mention i am using the move object command for the control control of the object ans spining it on the y axis.

Okay, after exsperimenting a little more i think i have foudn why it returns me to the starting point. My world is very very small and i use 0.01 and lower values to position stuff. So i need the integear turned into a float so i can store the .'s in my code. How do i do this?.

[EDIT]

Okay finilly i have ggot it to work in one way or the other. But i have a new fresh problem. I walk smoothly up the ramp but then around just after hal way collision detection stops automaticly. And as you can guess i can just walk through it.

Just got back and now the collisino detection dosent work at all. The code is simple:

if object hit(1,2)=1
YPOS=YPOS+0.01
position object 1,XPOS,YPOS,ZPOS
endif

But dosent increse the y position of object one and its not that its a too low value becouse i know becouse i have the y pos printed on the screen (Using the text command).

Did do last night and it works alot better and faster. Only thing i can suggest is use SC_SetupCOmplexObject in stead of SC_SetupObject it works alot faster with out i get 3-5fps with complex i get around 300fps

I might be the camera range.
Try "Set Camera Range 0,5000".
If not that, the invisible polygons might be backfaces but i doubt it.
Try anyway - "set object cull off [objects]"
If that was the case you need to fix up your models.

Thanks for the help aralox. Set camera range 0,5000 works but gives me a nasty flashign affect.Set object cull didnt have an effect though. Thanks anyway ill try move teh camera around so the camera dosent some close enough to the non drawing pollys. But thats gonna make teh camera view look shody.
