OK i have a problem but it never gets answered properly so i will try to phrase it a little differently.
I have 2 models 1)Character.3ds
2)level.3ds

The level.3ds is one model made up of different shapes, boxes,crates etc.Could somebody give me a simple code that allows my character.3ds to simply walk along the floor of the level.3ds and not sink halfway down it or walkthrough the various obstacles. I really am trying to avoid using nuclear glory aswell, PLease help .

you need to use intersect object command.
here's how it works in a nutshell:

x#=object position x(player)
y#=object position y(player)
z#=object position z(player)

Tox#=object position x(player)-100
Toy#=object position y(player)-100
Toz#=object position z(player)-100

distance#=INTERSECT OBJECT(level, X#, Y#, Z#, ToX#, ToY#, ToZ#)

Intersect object sends a line between the first point (player), to the second point(level), when the line hits the object (level), it will tell you the distance between the first point(player) to the point which the hit occured (current ground height).
distance# will give you the distance between the player, and the "ground" of the level.


this will be good for walking on the level, but if you're talking about full collision with it, intersect will just be too slow.
search the forums for "collision".

OK thanks for your help but im talking about the full on not being able to walkthrough objects that are above ground level,i want this so it saves the hassle of exporting objects seperatley and then working out their co-ords seperatly inside DB, By the way im using DB classic. im still a little confused

Sparky made a dll for DBC and DBP that allows you to use the intersect object command with speedy results.
