High, I am working on making guns shoot, and this is a simple question probably, how do you make the object shoot from it correctly, ea there is a position the gun is located....how would I make the object constently stay pointed outward from the gun:X...I know there is a point object command, is that it? Sorry If this is a noob question. I hope to have my first game out soon ( made this code from scratch, and ruccus's code wouldnt fit in )

Try the SET OBJECT TO OBJECT ORIENTATION command.

I answered the gun question in like two other threads search for it, as for collision I'd use the intersect object command as demonstrated in my tutorial "The Newcommers Guide To First Person Shooters". Use the intersect object command for shooting aswell, the only problem is you need DBP to use the intersection commands. Do you have DBP or DBC?

I use it for shooting, but I have a question: How do I use it for collision. How would I stop the object:S.I have dbp. And you did?
I am going to expiriment, and then give you the code..

ok..


There. All I need is collision with the gun, and sphere (based off your code, but I didnt like it)
I want to make this a good fps game, and I have opject switch code made, and better models, and animations. So all I need is collision right now, And I have no clue.

What code of mine didnt you like? COLD?

For collision with intersection just add limbs on each main side of the object, positioning them at the extents of the object's dimensions. Then use the intersect object command to shoot a ray from each limb back towards the user, using a for/next loop to check for intersection with every object in the game. Then just check if the intersection returned is greater than 0, if so then the user is colliding with something so handle it appropriately (Sliding Them, Stopping Them, Bounching Them, whatever you want).

If you want to be accepted here the last thing you want to do is tell people you don't like their code.

It wouldnt have fps yet. I wanted to make an fps, but not wait for a tutorial to be done. I liked the coding style, but it wasnt complete. I used your camera code, because it was the only one I could find
