well ummm yeah.

How would i tweak the hight that you step onto for the dbcollisions.dll. Im making my game off of the .x demo so anyone know what to do? You can step thru window sills and all sorts of stuff in my game now.

and anyone know why distant objects do this wierd thing and what I should do to stop it?

the distant objects going funny is, in my experience, when two objects are intersecting each other. Make sure the skirting board is not 'in' the wall but is actually ON the wall. What is the other problem? if it is the height off the ground that you are, this is solved by changing the variable marked height off ground or something like that.

I've got the hight variable okay, I even got it to adjust for crouching and stuff But the problem is the ramp and stair code. I cant figure it out, cas I have the programming abilities of a bagel. When you walk up to something, it checks the height and if it thinks it's reasonable to step onto, like a mat or a stair, then it gets on it. I think it has something to do with the hup# command but I'm not sure. I just need to know how to get it so that it will only step onto something about half the height of the default.

Hello,

hup# variable makes climbing on stuff smoother.Without it player would jump instantly from ground level to say some crate or table.
I made that hup# variable,so be sure in my words.
Anyway to stop player step onto things above half of his height(charht#) just replace this line in _collisions subroutine:

col=intersectObjectDBC(1,1,cx#,cy#,cz#,chx#,cy#,chz#,0)
in to:
col=intersectObjectDBC(1,1,cx#,cy#-(charht#/2),cz#,chx#,cy#-(charht#/2),chz#,0)
That will drop "ray-casting" to one half of player`s height,and solve your problem.
Hope this helpes.
All best.Any question at: [email protected]
Toggy.
