In my programme there are 12 spheres than move randomly in a 100,100,100 tranparent box, and I wanted to make these objects not overlap but turn and move when they are close more than x. I tryed using a math calculation, but it doesn't work (the objects still overlap) so if anybody modifies my programme
to make it work, I would be vary happy if you sent it to me (nerofrancesco@hotmail.com) or post it in a reply.
Sorry for my English and for the mess in my programme(I didn't even put one comment)!
Bye

why not just use set object radius to make the collision zone for the object larger than the object? (or am I missing something here?)

If you mean 3D distance between two objects, heres a basic formula that I use.

Ok, thanks for that formula, but how can I adapt it to all of the objects (I have 12)?
Here is my code

Could somebody give it a look?

Well, i tried, you could just use a for next loop to check distances, but I am too busy to do the work for you.
