gday
im making a fps but m having problems with objet collision. i cannot get polygon jobject collision to work!!!!!!!!! it works with box and sphere collision perfectly well but im using large objects and this is really dodgy. could anyone give me some tips on what to check for when putting in object collision?

It might help if we could see your source code, por favor?

ok here is an example for ya


load object "polygonscollisionhatesme.x",1
set object collision on 1
set object collision to polygons 1

do
if upkey()=1
create object sphere 2,10
set object collision on 2
set object collision to polygons 2
endif
move object 2,10
if object collision(1,2)>0
delete object 2
endif
loop


basically something like that. if the object collision = 0 it works proplerly but it must not detect the polygons of other objects
is there a way to correct this code
if i havent made myself as clear as i can be please tell me and ill be a bit more specific

cheers

Strange. Do you use DBPro, or DBC. And the only other possible answer I see is that you're using object collision() for a sliding collision, I believe that might be wrong. In other words, the polygon collision might not apply when you use object collision(). I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure...

my 2 cents
hmm it may be the fact your setting it on polygons
try setting it to spheres... <set object collision to spheres>

hmm or you could try using just plain object collision
SET OBJECT COLLISION ON Object Number
both ways work fine... its just when you set it to polygons i think DB is having problems

<EDIT>
i just tested this would work ...

load object "polygonscollisionhatesme.x",1
set object collision on 1


do
if upkey()=1
create object sphere 2,10
set object collision on 2
endif
move object 2,10
if object collision(1,2)>0
delete object 2
endif
loop

oh yeah sorry for the massive code but i figure the only way to do something is to do something right. if it helps the object collision only checks for the first object collision and then checks for the next one down the order once the first is colliding and etc. thsi si a real problem and i cannot make a decent game witihout fixing it. i really hope this helps and if anybody cant help or asks for soemthing else then i can give other variations of my code that i have made.

cheers anyway
