If you are making a flight-sim this is quite a pickle. You basically have to subtract the "get ground height" from the, say, plane's y# coordinate and as long as the result is higher than zero then there is no collision.

Um.. i think he means off of the edge of the matrix...

There is two ways to do it...

1) you can make four plains, and position them at the edges of your matrix, then check for collisions, or,

2) you can just check the character's position and if it is greater than the position of the edge of the matrix, then, reposition the character back on the matrix.

Eg:


Hope I Helped...
