if i had 500 objects on my matrix and i ran into one how could i make it dissapear? Well wat i was thinking was like if object collision then hide object x but i had all the objects as object x so wouldnt it hide all of em. I havent tried it yet so if that would work tell pleaze tell me. oh also if you ran into one of em how could you print the number you have too the screen.

Wat im makin is a stupid game were thers objects all over the matrix and you run into em and that counts as a point and you try to get the most poisnt aas possible. and maybe once im donwe with that maybe do some simple ai for it but thats not part of my question.

if you have 500 objects then they should each have a unique number, test collision of your player with 0, so that the Object Collision function will return the number that was hit, then use that to hide or delete the object.

you can also print the number to the screen with text or print, but use set cursor to print in the same location instead of scrolling

Something like this in your main loop should work.

I have actually made this game before. It got erased on accident.
To print the total you have collected: When you hit an object just type "variable=variable+1". Just print it using the text command, "text 5,5,Str$(variable)"

When I made it, I made circular blades that would follow you. To do that you will have to scale a sphere like this
"scale object blade,100,1,100" Then just type
"point object blade,playerx#,playery#,playerz#" and then
"move object blade,1". Adjust the speed if needed. The collision part is in the code box. I don't know if I have the cooridinates of the text right or not.

oh are you using pro or classic? cuz im using classic. Ithink i tried ur code but i had to delete some of it cuz it said it was unrecognized perimeter. hmm i also need a better collision cuz i was usin the regualr sliding collision from the sliding coll example but like it works for like 5 and then it stops working. I think it might be because my guy is runing really fast. im tryin to use tis dll that i downloaded from this one website but i cant get it to work. I think ill get it soon i hope.

Take away the "as integer" bits from the to and it'll run fine.

Do you bite your thumb at me sir?
