I want to do Sliding collision. That is, I want one object to strike another, and then slide off, rather than just stopping. I've done a search and everything points to Nuclear Glory's Collision dll.
The two hitches I have here:
1. I am broke. Broke broke broke. I am so broke I cannot pay $15 and still have money for rent. That is how broke I am. Did I mention broke?
2. I have no idea how to use a dll in my program.

Now, before my thread gets hijacked, the second hitch is easily fixable, I can learn. What I want to know is; how do I do good collision for free?

Please.

I think I can help you on that one.
1. Are you using DarkBASIC or DarkBASIC PRO?
2. What type of game are you making.

Who dares; wins.

you could get an earlier version of ng's .dll, i think it supported sliding collision aswell.
and its free

In the beginning, the universe was created...
This made alot of people very angry and it has been widely regarded as a bad idea...

Red_Eye, where do I get an earlier version? I looked at his web site but didn't see it.

I think I can figure it out on my own with some help. Can any body give me an idea how to point the camera along a surface that I just ran into? I vaguely recall a formula from my highschool math days, but can't think of what its called or what it is. Any help on this topic would be appreciated! Thank you!

You can get version 2.00 of the DLL here...

http://www.nuclearglory.com/download.php

You don't actually have to know anything about DLLs. It comes with an include file, you put this and the DLL in your program directory, and use the functions provided.

Quote: "Function SlideColl(pn#) : Rem pn# is PLAYER NUMBER
obx#= Object position x(pn#) : Rem Get the objects X position
oby#= Object position y(pn#) : Rem Get the objects Y position

If object collision(pn#,0)>0 : Rem here you may put NOT any objects you dont want collision with

dec obz#,get object collision z()

endif
endfunction
"

This is a quote from RPGamer's thread above. I'm having trouble with it since I set up a sky sphere, and I can't figure out how to not have collision with it, can anyone help? My skyshpere is object 2. thank you!

Perhaps RPGamer would care to help me with his Sub? What do mean by:
Quote: "Rem here you may put NOT any objects you dont want collision with"
I've never used NOT before, and I'm having problems getting it to work.

you would just exclude object 2 using the AND operator and the "not equals" comparer. like so:

Quote: "
If object collision(pn#,0)>0 AND object collision(pn#,2)<>2
"


the "<>" means "does not equal". that should work.

edit: oops, black hydra got to it before me, lol.

oh, wow. insignificantpunks.cjb.net. we like orange treble clef notes, just for future reference.

no: website for progs yet.
