I have looked at the ng dll and stuff but I still have no idea how to make an object walk along its enviorment. (not go through the ground, tilt with it)

could anyone post example code, of explain the basic principals to me?

Their sample programs are fairly well commented. Have you torn them apart and digested the comments there?

The Binary Moon tutorial has a section on tilting with the landscape but I am not 100% sure that is what you are looking for but here is the link straight to that section.

This just uses the built in DarkBasic Commands (Classic).

FYI, I was referring to the sample programs that come with the Nuclear Glory Collision DLL.

If you look at the sample programs zircher mentioned you'll noticed this. The way NG works is you move your object, then it checks if it collided with anything, and if it did moves it back to the appropriate spot. So you could now have a constant force pushing downward on your character and there is your gravity. Put something like this in your loop:



Or to make things easier use the SetObjectGravity() command that came with NG.
