I'm having trouble:

I have a rectangle rotate so that it's like a ramp, but the object collision box doesn't rotate with it!

Help please?

If you don't know, at least tell me some 3D maths I can do, because polygon collision is way too slow.

Thanx.

Wait a minute, I found a way to make it rotate, but it doesn't detect ANY collision now!

Was that you on the newcomers forum???

Anyway, sliding collision AND rotating collision box won't work together. The only solution is mathematical search for collision.

Then it's probably better to use the commands
set object collision to boxes objnr
set object collision to spheres objnr
set object collision to polygons objnr

It should support rotation. Use the polygons to have a very accurate collision detection. But remember, it'll slow your program down.

You didn't read my first post.

I DON'T want poly collision, and I want to be a ble to rotate an objects collision box.

And what do you mean newcomers forum; I am a professional, and have almost completed a command, object top y, that allows you to find the top position of an object at the specified position, so you can make your player walk up ramps and such.

Oh please. For one thing, 'professional' merely means that you were paid to do it, and is no guarantee of quality.

Also, you have not read Sven B's post - At no point did he say that you should use poly collision, he just said what it should be used for along with its advantages and disadvantages.

He also said this:

set object collision to boxes (object number)

TRY IT.

I did, but it's too slow.

I guess I'm not really a professional, but at least I think I'm pretty talented.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was just defending myself, because he said I was a newcomer.

I thought that when you make an object collision box, it's supposed to work, but the collision detection no longer works when I change it to that.

how can you be a professional and not be able to figure out collision?

I'm too lazy to type anything here...

Lzdude69: I was just being sarcastic, and who said professionals don't ask questions now and then?

So can someone answer mine?!


PLEASE!

Proffessionals are what they are because they asked questions. Not just to others, but in their minds.

maybe put a 1 after the command:
make object collision box objnr,x,y,z,x2,y2,z2,1

It means that the collision box will be a rotating collision box. But sliding collision data cannot be used when set to 1.

I did, and it did not detect any collision at all!

Look into the Nuclear Collision DLL. You will save yourself many headaches.

I don't like using other people's code, unless it's for particles or something.
