I have 6 bullets (26-31) being shot at me I use this code


But when i use this, they pass through the wall without being hidden.

So i tried replacing it with this



But this is very slow.

Is there anyway around this?

Use this code but cast an intersect object to see if it hit instead of object collision commands. Or use NGC which can detect if an object passes through another But, use v2 as v3 is FUBARed

Sorry to be a noob but how do you 'cast an intersect object'?

Also, what is NGC and is it free?

NGC is a collision dll, and no, it is not free(as far as I know. I think there is a trial version somewhere)

to cast an intersect object, use the intersect object command. Look it up in the help files.

Part of solving the problem is actually noticing that the problem is there in the first place

it means it will project an imaginary line from the x,y,z position to the toX,toY,toZ position. It will then return the distance from the x,y,z position to where the imaginary line hits the specified object(if it hits it). It works a bit like this:



hope this helps.
