I'm not a 3D guy, but I'd imagine you could treat the stairs like a ramp.

Ideally:
.....[]
...[]
.[]

Is actually:

..../[]
../[]
/[]

Hope this helps.

Perhaps put a sloping matrix that isn't visible, and detecting the matrix height?

Again, I'm not very familiar with this stuff.

Hey, that's a pretty good idea Irojo! Just hide the matrix under your object stairs. Since there is no hide matrix command, texture it black and use transparency or ghosting.

I made this matrix kinda stair-like, but you could just use an incline like Irojo suggests. Arrows to move mouse to steer



Enjoy your day.

wouldn't using a matrix present the problem of knowing what to check for collision? I mean, you want collision with the floor object mainly, but how would you switch when you got to the stairs?

Ever notice how in Microsoft word, the word "microsoft" is auto corrected to be "Microsoft" but "macintosh" just gets the dumb red underline?

@BN2
I'm guessing the vertical position of the player would always be the ground height of the matrix and so the player would never collide with the stairs and even so you could just turn collision off on the stairs.

A small program that works is better than a large one that doesn't.

Must not have read through the ground tilt link I supplied... then again, maybe the information isn't clear.

Enjoy your day.
