Try putting the object collision line before geting the new object position.

That will make your program move the object, then detect for object collision.
If collision is detected than the object will be positioned back at its last position before the object collision.


Hope you can make sense of that.

well, that worked when i walked into my tree, which didn't have collision turned on for it. so when i tried to walk into the house, i went right through it, and i had collision turned on for it. so i commented it out, and i still walked through it. why does it do that?



thanx e.b.d., you've been a big help, i got your other ideas to work for me, and i appreciate your time.

also, i have some plain objects that i made in db, and the collision works with those, too. i don't understand this. thanx again.

Your object collision box is wrong.

Put it to this:
Make object collision box 100,-650,-650,-650,650,650,650

That should do it.

In the Make object collision box object number,x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2
x1 gives the distance to the left side of your collision box from the center of your 3d object. Remember think 3d.
x2 the distance to the right side.
y1 distance to the bottom side.
y2 distance to the top side.
z1 distance to the side facing you.
z2 distance to the farthest side.
