How would I use ngs collision system to check for collisions between the ball and the paddle then how do I assign actions depending on wether or not a collision happened.
Thankyou
If you need to look at the code just ask
Thanks again

Are you coding your game for 2d or 3d? NG's collision system only works for 3d.

Cheers,

Michael

I just posted on your other thread I think.

Let me get the post and stick it here.

Here it is:

---

It's not too bad.

StartCollisionPRO()
StartCollisionDebugPRO()

Define some custom types:

TYPE_ELLIP = 1
TYPE_MESH = 2

Then, are you doing ellip-2-mesh or ellipsoid-to-ellipsoid detection?

For ellipsoid-to-mesh, use the command:

SetCollisionsPRO( TYPE_ELLIP, TYPE_MESH, ELLIP_2_POLY, RESP_STICK, DYN_RESP )

For ellipsoid-to-ellipsoid collision use:

SetCollisionsPRO( TYPE_ELLIP, TYPE_ELLIP, ELLIP_2_POLY, RESP_STICK, DYN_RESP )


Then define which of your objects are meshes and which are ellipsoids. Example:

CollisionTypePRO( pong_ball, TYPE_ELLIP )
CollisionTypePRO( pong_world, TYPE_MESH )


Then move your objects as normal and call RunCollisionPRO() once per main loop.

Then you can detect if you pong ball hit a wall (or paddle) with:



If we made it any simpler the system would lose its dynamic power.
