Hiya! First of all, thanks for looking.

I'm after an explination on how sliding collision works and how you go about coding it. I'm using dbc and have been examining the sliding collision example but I cant get a grip on it.

I'm only 14 so I need something I can easily take to.

If anyone can help I'd be mighty glad!

Thanx 4 that Lost In Thought!

If you take a look at the sliding collision example that comes with dbc (not sure about dbpro) it uses the dec command when detecting collisions, but I cant figure out how it works. I've looked through the reference in dbc but I still don't understand it.

Any ideas?

I've been writing a screensaver-type program where the cam bounces around inside a small room. All things are well except for when the cam intercepts with the side walls and it glitches it's way through the wall and out into space, never to return. If someone could tell me what is wrong with my code it would be a great help.

You'll have to download the media file as well to get it to work unless you remove the texture object commands
