I'm trying to make an rpg/adventure/timing game. TRYING is the main word here. When my caracter walks into a building in the town(one big object that is using polygon collision) and the caracter is using whatever set global collision does. Here's the code
The problem is that the buildings are partialy hollow and when my character smacks into them. Ack! She's stuck inside the building. Please help set free the poor character. YOU can make a difference.

It looks like you're just moving the character backward when they hit something, this can cause some pretty creepy results. What if they're facing sideways? They'll keep colliding with the wall and the program will keep pushing them back, but maybe it won't because it knows you don't want them inside the wall, but it doesn't know exactly what you want.

I always find that if you portray the computer as a sentient, but ignorant, being not only is it more satisfying you can solve problems easier.

Check out the object collision x/y/z() commands, they contain sliding data which you can use to move the object away from the thing it's colliding with.

Well I tried Bear Crazy Donut Productions 's Idea but it keeps saying that GET OBJECT COLLISION X() expects no paratmers. How will it tell which object to get the data from. This is my third progamming language and it's really different(that's why I keep forgeting about those funny commands that do stuff for you(that's also why I don't understand them ))

Well if $15 is too much for you then your in trouble when your introduced to taxes/car payments for sure!

Might want to make a cube based object that you can hide and use box collision for,,or hardcode your own 'intersect object' based collision system. Kentaree released something in the code snippets area that might help you.

Still think you should try to get that $15 for NG...

or...you can break your building in to boxy objects like walls, flors and ceelings (depend on your project if it would make sense...)
Then turn collision for each separately (box collision of course, not polygoon ...that would compensate for more objects in collision check, so you should get the same or even faster collisions)
