Hi all,

I was wondering, how do i get my player (object number 1) stop when it collides with another model? Also, how do i stop my model from walking off the edge of my matrix? Thx guys.

example of collision system




replace (matrix max) with the width/height number

That's really interesting Emperor Baal!, I'd never thought about using that approach to collision detection. So, thank you.

Also though, there are other methods that seem a little bit more intuitive to me. You could right something that went like this:

grab old positions

if(collision)
set object to old positions
endif

There are examples of this method in the DarkBASIC help file that I think are really good. They also have things on sliding collision and what nots.

Someone else will probably mention this anyway, so, if you have the Enhancement pack, there's a really really good dll that will take care of sliding collisions for you at www.nuclearglory.com.
Even if you don't have the enhancement pack, I found their example code on collisions and the way they set up their programs to be quite usefull, so you might want to check it out.

Good luck!

bah, I left out a pretty important step for the collision detection logic. It should have been more like

get old object positions
move your object <<that's what I forgot

if collision
restore object to old positions
endif


Sorry about that..I THINK it's okay now
