hmm, not quite sure what your looking for. All that's there is a bunch of setup code, but no loop... and one problem you might want to fix before you continue.
I can't tell why you use a variable with such a long name as ImageNumber just to hold the value 1 so that you can create the object. Why don't you just type in 1 instead?lol. I can help, but I've got nothing to work on here...

if you want to use "intersect object" with a terrain, I suggest you use Sparky's collision dll. Very snazy, and much faster than DBPro's intersect object.

Hope that helps!

If you are using DBC then you need GET GROUND HEIGHT not TERRAIN HEIGHT, if you are using DBPro then please ignore me cos I know nothing about DBPro

I thought the thread title refered to the Powerman 5000 song...

When worlds collide...
Are you ready to go,
'Cause I'm ready to go,
What you gonna do; baby, baby!?
Are you goin' with me,
'Cause I'm goin with you,
That's the end of all tiiiiime!

So...

Are you trying to collide the camera with a heightmap or a matrix? I don't know much about heightmaps...

Glad a few folks here are not affraid to show there age
Thanks to all for the trip down amnesia lane
As for the original topic of the post:

Bolt i am now using a matrix instead of terrain map.
I have found that the auto collision seems to work better this way.
However i still can not figure how to collide with placed objects.

Please forgive my slowness in this matter.
I don't assimilate code well

This is the code i am using for the matrix ...



Thanks again,
E

So...what did the thread title refer to?

Is this in DB Classic or Pro? If it is in classic you can use static collision boxes for your stationary objects. No matter which language, you can use collision boxes and sliding collision. It is very fast, especially compared to polygon collision, but is not perfect because boxes for collision are formed around your objects.

Look at the help files, there are some good examples for standard sliding collision.
