PJ...me too. I thought I was doing something wrong.

if you need, use this;

set cursor 50,60
print "Frames Per Second: ",SCREEN FPS()

It seems to work, I get 32 and 33 fps. I hope it really is the FPS.

You could manually track the object's x and z coordinants and see if they are within a certain range, or you could use



If the ground height of matrix (1) is not 0 where the object is standing, that means it is over the matrix. You may want to randomize the matrix slightly, because I don't know if it will work with a flat one. Also, if the matrix is above you or below you, it will trigger, so if there's a tunnel under or over the matrix you will end prematurely.

Cheers for that, seems to work ok.

Interesting that you called me PJ when my name is Paul J

Do you know me from somewhere else, I use PJ usually as a nickname, but type on boards with Paul J...

thanks,
Paul J

Ooooooh my bad, you want if it's over a certain position of the matrix, not the matrix itself being the checkpoint. You could make an invisible box and see if the character and the box are colliding, you could do a manual check for the 3 variables



that checks if the x, y and z coords are within a 10 unit cubed box area. I hope it is self explanitory. It checks if each number is within 5 units of the position you gave(300,0,50) and adds 1 to checkpoint# if it is.
