How would I make collision with a 3d object that is like a tunnel?
I tried object hit, but that doesn't work, I stop moving in the area you are supposed to walk through. I tried set collision to polygons, but that slowed it down greatly. So, how would I do it?
Thanks to anyone who can help me!

example (lets think your tunnel is number 1 and object you want it to collide with is 2):

set object collision to polygons 1
set object collision to polygons 2


and then just use

if object collision(1,2) then speed = 0 (or whatever you like to heppen when colliding)



i hope that will work ! (that what i`m use to make tunnel collision in my new fps game.

Yah, thanks. I tried. I was hoping there was another way. It worked when I did it, but it took down like 30 fps when I did do it.

This has nothing to do with it...
Collision and syncing are something completely different m8.

Without syncing you would get a framerate of 0. And he says the framerate dropped down to 30...

Well, my "tunnel" is actually a room with two walls missing. And my character is that goblin thingy that is in the darkmatter collection. Hope this will help give you guys a visual.

I was afraid of doing that because I would spend a long time trying to get the objects correctly positioned.

What about using another, lower-poly model for collision and only allow the normal high-poly one for the user to see?

How about every time you go to a tunnel you have the choice to go in it. Just play a cutscene of animaton of the character going through the tunnel by turning collision off and moving the object with coding from scratch.

the last two are your best bet by far

i've done alot of objects that are hidden and only for collision only and it works great and its easy.

and the cutscene would be cool too. you could put the whole thing in a for next loop. if the tunnel was 100 units long, you could do for x = 1 to 100 and each time, move the object forward, sync it, and do it again. you could use the set camera to follow command to make it nice and smooth, but dont forget to switch back to your camera positioning code after the loop

best of luck

you could also make your collision based off of the intersectobject commands. I noticed you were concered about speed. If you havent used sparkys collision dll yet, now would be a great time to start. it's really fast and easy to work with. Theres a nice demo of using it for first person in teh codebase, and I'll upload a third person version I made off it if it would help you.

lastly, it sounds like you're using teh built in primitives. you'll have alot better luck for fancier landscapes with an editor that will export you an object to load in the game. Deled is free and decent, and theres always cartography shop and 3dws if you get serious about mapping. .x objects work especially well with the collision dll


sorry for the double post. I feel naughty.

I used milkshape to scale, and position boxes to look like a "tunnel". A cutscene wouldn't work a well for me because I want you to be able to "hide" and trick the enemy into it and what not. I'll upload a demo if you want me to. And you can see what kind of tunnel I'm talking about.

devestation328, I would love to learn how to use the dll. I tried it once, but I didn't know where to start. Thanks all so far for the comments!

i uploaded a zipped folder of a 3rd person game i started on. its got all the iterations of it that i made (10 total i think) ranging from toggy's .x demo, to one w/ jump, to one weith a third person camera, to one with a ninja and a swinging camera, to one with a ninja that can attack, etc. If you're up for it, the dll is a great next step to make towards better games.

hers the dl

thatnks! I'lll check it out after school!

Thanks, that is the coolest! I could NEVER make anything that awesome. Now I need to figure out how to actually use the collision. I'll keep looking through the code, but thanks! if You could save me time and tell me cammands to use and how to use them, I would greatly appreciate it! Again, thanks!
