I feel stupid to not be able to overcome this simple problem but, heres the thing.

With the new addition of buildings, i need to make it so that when the zombie,player,or citizen, runs into a wall, they don't go through it. I don't want them to turn, or find a path, or give up drinking and convert to christianity, just not go through the buildings. Any help on how to do this?

Basically the same way you would keep your player character from moving through objects; make collision check.

Something like

+ Code Snippet

for char = charStart to charStart + totalChars
   for obstacle = objStart to objStart + totalObjs
      intersection# = intersect object(char, posX, posY, posZ, objX, objY, objZ)
      if intersection# <> 0.0 and intersection# < 50.0 `or whatever value
         `do whatever you wish to keep the characters from moving through solid obstacles here
      else
          `And here you put the normal (non-collision) code
      endif
   next obstacle
next char

(That's pseudo code, by the way)
