I'm trying to setup sparkys dll. Its the first time I've used it and I'm having a few problems with my code.

Thank you for your help.

sync on
sync rate 30
autocam off
set camera range 0.5, 30000
hide mouse

gosub load_game
gosub setup_game

do
gosub control_player

sync
loop

control_player:
rem player movement

x2# = object position x(2)
y2# = object position y(2)
z2# = object position z(2)
ay2# = object angle y(2)

if upkey()=1 then move object 2,player_speed#
if downkey()=1 then move object 2,-player_speed#
if leftkey()=1 then rotate object 2,0,(ay2#)-3,0
if rightkey()=1 then rotate object 2,0,(ay2#)+3,0

set camera to follow x2#,y2#,z2#,ay2#,5,5,1,1
position object 3,x2#,y2#,z2#
return

setup_game:
make object sphere 2,2  'sets up basic player
position object 2,0,200,1000 ' sets up the position of the player by the x,y,z axes
player_speed#=20 'sets the players speed
hide object 2  ' hides the player from veiw
SC_SetupObject 2,0,0
return

load_game:
` set the directory to media

load object "worldworld.dbo",1
'loads the 3d world and sky in to memory

load object "sky16sky16.x",3
sc_setupTerrainCollision 1,1,5

set object texture 3,2,1 
set object light 3,0
scale object 3,140000,140000,140000
position object 3,0,200,1000

return
delete memblock 1

I'll add something later on.

It crashes. The complier reads it ok but when the exe runs it crashes. I have never set up sparkys dll before so I've more than likely missed something important.

I'm trying to get the terrain to have collision with the player.

I'll add something later on.

I am very new to all of this too, so I probably don't know what I am talking about but I think the sc_setupTerrainCollision is for use on an Advanced Terrain. Your loading an object as your terrain so I think you need to use sc_setupComplexObject instead. That should stop the crashing. But you then need to look for the collisions using sc_objectCollision or sc_groupCollision. And then you have to work out what to do about the collision using other Sparky's functions. Sparky's dll comes with a bunch of sample code. Look in there and it will show you how it's done.

EDIT:- Maybe I'm wrong about sc_setupTerrainCollision only being for an A.T. but it is expecting the object to be separated into limbs. Hope this helps.

Thanks krisper it stopped crashing.
Now it runs and closes without showing anything.
One step forward.
