Basically I have a room I made in my modelling program, have flipped the normals so you can see it from the inside and it all works fine and dandy except when I get to collision.

I'm basically just using box collision to find out when objects collide but I'm not sure what to use for the room object because obviously you have to be able to walk inside it and only collide when you hit the wall.

Any ideas would be great, thanks.

Feel free to try out our collision system. It can handle multiple objects and/or solid meshes. Great for rooms

Link is below.

Is the player always inside the room?
If so, you can use normal collision but say "If blahblah=0", ie. when they aren't colliding.

You can always fall back on maths collision.

I know, your DLL looks excellent but I'm waiting until TGC pays me to my PayPal account for a tutorial I wrote before I purchase it.

I thought I recalled Indi saying they didn't work properly in a different post. Then again, I've never actually tried.

That gave me an idea so I think I can get it to work, thanks.

you could export every side of the box separetly and then put box collision on each of the sides, or just use the intersect object command for the collision. If you don't know how to do it with the intersect object command, I can give you an easy to understand code

Woah, never saw that last post lol. How do you use the Intersect Object command? I've tried messing around with it a bit but can't get it to work. Thanks.

I hate to throw the same thing back at you, but Nuclear Glory's .dlls are perfect. You just need either DBPro, or the enhancement pack for Classic, then load the .dll
v1.5 is free, and 2.02 is $15 with free updates, free if you switch platforms (Classic, Pro, and god forbid Blitz3d). They are very much so beautiful (it's late, I may not sense make much).

If it's a square room (basically a box) then you could use the
sort of thing. This is not a very good solution because it only works with totally square/rectangular rooms and it's basically a lazy solution

Am I the only one here who's really confused?
