Hi.
The tutorials teach you how to do collision detection for third person, but not how to do it first person (ie. using the camera as a collision object). How do I sense if the camera is on collision with an object?
Also whenever I try to play a music or sound file, it says Error unable to load Synthcore.exe or something like that.
I would be grateful for your help.

OK, for the camera, I suggets making a box for your object (trust me) and position the camera always above that box. Then, just code collision for the box, thus if the box cant go thru a wall, neither can the camera.

Dunno about your error....

With static collision you can just define the area around the camera in the 'get static collision hit()' command.

Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum!

How would I do this RPGamer?
And Hamish, the program says that there is no such command.

the static collision command is used for static objects, i.e. non-movable! so you can't really use it for the camera. The method i use is the same as RPGamer, i have an object follow the camera, the object having it's own collision box. I detect for a collision btw the follower object and the evironment objects, if one occurs the i reposition the follower object and the camera in the same position.

I do the same, using a sphere as my collision object.
I create a sphere and scale it appropriately for the world and then place the camera inside it. By locking on the sphere object it is always moved around with the camera. By using the 'set object' command i make sure that the sphere object's backfaces are not drawn and therefore not seen because the camera is inside the sphere.

Then use 'set object collision to spheres' and whenever the sphere object collides with another object dont move it in that direction (this is the same principle as the tutorial).
