I've been working on learnig Dark Basic for six months now and I have started to build a little program where you fly around in stealth bomber and drop bombs to blow things up.I have loaded the bomber and created the matrix but my bomber flies right through it!!!Is there any built in way using collision commands or do I need to figure something else out to solve this problem.

do something like...

if matrix height(object position x(1),object position z(1))=object position y(1) then crash=1 else crash=0

i think that's the way, if it doesn't work, check in the help and look up the get matrix height() command, and set the x,y coordinants to the position of the bomber.

Just something to consider,
I don't use matries for outdoor terrains because I've found that they slow the program down a little bit, and most collision systems don't handle matrices. You could use Total Terrain from http://www.robinking.com/allseeingi, find a nice heightmap reader (there's a couple for Milkshape), and then you have a beautifully smooth terrain that you can edit in a 3d modeller.

hmmm and what about the Get Matrix Height? if he uses a model then he can't get the height of where the object is in the terrain...or there is a way???
