Could someone just post a simple snippet of what EXACT part makes the sliding collision work. I've got the scenes set up in game, with a nice forest, and every tree has collision detection and so does my "sphere" player. I know I have to run a constant object collision check, which I was able to do, but i think whenever i tried to reposition the object to make it appear to be sliding, but it would jerk around and reposition back to the same darn spot ... ::Sigh:: Thanks people!
P.S. This is what the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

first off, you need to make collision boxes of the RIGHT size for all of your objects. this is probably what you are doing wrong. Here is an algorythm to make the rigth sized static boxes:



and collision in the loop:



assuming your objects position are x#,y# and z#

Well ... you add another dimension and something goes AWOL. I got my jump code working, but now that I can jump, I can also jump through my trees ... any clue on what might cause that little trick?

you can jump through the trees...whats your jump code? either the height of the tree's collision box is wrong, or maybe you dont check for collision in midair?

Well, the boxes seem to work from the ground to about mid-level of my trees.
