Ok, I have a plane fly and the camera can follow it. Now I want to add a basic collision. What code do I have to add to make the plane explode if it crashes or collides?

I don't quite know how the DB apps handle collision, but if you want the easiest to code, and most perfectest, bestest, superest (it is indeed this great) collisions, then go to NuclearGlory.com, give them $15 bucks, and dowload their dll. The commands allow you tell which objects you want to detect collision on, and what type of collision reaction you get out of it, then you can code the effects as needed. As soon as you detect plane hitting obstacle, then play animation. You can animate the explosion in a modeller, or have a bit of code that will shoot a bunch of fiery looking chunks of whatever into the air.

@Exeat Oh man! We gotta get NG in here, code wars! Is your collision stuff in the Program Announcements or Work In Progress boards? I'd like to try them out.

I guess I may have to spend some money to get some collisions working.

if object sprite(1st sprite num,2nd sprite num)
some explode code
endif

NG dll=Money loss. I don't have money right now. So I need a working basic collision between a plane and terrain or other objects.

the matrix command set has a command called "get ground height",
this is an easy to detect if your plane has touched the matrix.

If your landscape is a x file then consult the "intersect object" command for basically the same thing.
