i have looked through a lot of tutorials on collision detection and saw a lot of different techniques. which is why i have come to ask this: how would i be able to make a character walk on top of boxes? i don't want to use a matrix cuz i'm trying to test the character walking on boxes so that they will be able to walk on a square platform i have modeled. thanks ahead of time.

i tried to do it using "object height y" to get the height of the box but DB pro pops out and error. I know this is a really basic question, but I haven't figirued it out exactly. Shouldn't be if you turn on collisions for a box (platform) and a sphere (player) the spere would not pass through the box but would continue to move (Z and X) with the arrows?

I would reccomend using sliding collision. (Help > examples> sliding collision). Basically you need to use the collision detection code there, and the gravity code there (which are very simple), put a collision box on the character, and put a collision box on your object.
Make object collision box Object#,Half object X,Half object Y, Half object Z, -Half object X, -Half object Y, -Half object Z,0

all the - are negative signs, the stuff after is values. And do that for the character. Hope that helps.
