Well i was working on the basic of basic AI, which is the enemy(cube) looks at the player (shpere) and chases it down and when it catches it starts puching it. Now, i did all this fine, but the question actualy comes in the collision. The collision works, i use the Set object collision to spheres and cubes command. Now this may always happen, but when the vube catches up to the sphere, it will always push towards 0,0,0, or the point which the camera and objects always appear before they are positioned. I put the code in below. does anyone see somthing wringe with it? thanks

Take a look at everything before this line:

If Object collision(10,0)>0 then position object 10,X#-5,y#,z#-5

and you will see there is no previous statements defining what x#,y#, and z# are, so they will always be equal to 0

you need something like X#=object position x(object #) and so on for Y# and Z#

Ahh OK now I see the problem.
The line I described earlier is the problem though, but not as I had spoke of before. You need to re-do your code something like this:

- Get x,y,and z (like old_X#=X#, etc)
- make object movements
- if collision, restore object to old x,y,and z.

Unless you're trying to get the enemy to push you around, then you could try rotating your player object to the same as the enemy by using rotate object (not point object). Then just move the player forward with move object by however many steps the enemy moves.

Hope that clears things up a bit!

Cheers,
