Hi All
gamergod88 , here is a little demo I have put together as I was having the same problem , took me a while to get my head around collision detection
The demos in BlinkOk's link are very good , but they use the Physic's commands and I did not want to use them
So this is what I came up with , I am no expert on this and could be a better way to do this ?
move the cube/player up and down left and right using ADWS keys , the player will not go through the platform
and will move along and fall off if pressing down when at end of platform
hope this might help you , this does X and Y but does not include the Z 3d aspect
