I wanted to know how to strafe when i'm moving the camera together with an object, because this way i can use collision detection for the object.

+ Code Snippet

         
If Upkey()=1 then Move object 10,10 

         If Leftkey()=1 Then X# = NewXValue(X#,WrapValue(Object Angle Y(10)-90),5)


         If Rightkey()=1 Then X# = NewXValue(X#,WrapValue(Object Angle Y(10)+90),5)
           

	If Downkey()=1 then Move object 10,-10

This is the code i'm using. I just wanted to know how to make it strafe. Or if anyone can help how to make collision detection if i'm only using a camera, that'd be great too.

What I tend to do is at the end of the code I write:

+ Code Snippet

position camera 0, object position x(10), object position y(10), object position z(10)

rotate object 10, camera angle x(0), camera angle y(0), camera angle z(0)

This means that the object is always rotated in the way the camera is pointing and the camera is positioned in the same position as the object.

Hope that helps!
