lets say i downloaded a castle model from the internet, i want to go inside it, but it's not going to work just to go up to it and walk in,so i was wondering if anybody could tell me how i could walk up to it and the screen would go black for a sec. and the n go away, but instead of apearring outside next to the model i'd be inside?

If the castle model is big and expansive enough you could just leave it where it is, have an opening to walk through, and then you could walk right inside, checking collision against walls and all that. But if you want there to be a nice big whatitlookslikeoutside model and then have something much more expansive inside, then use the one you have already, then make a bunch of twisty passages in a modeller for the inside. Then you when you detect that you've walked into the castle you can get rid of the outside castle object and put in all the hallways and walk around in there.

Everything is about collision. What you do it right in front of the entrance to the castle set up an invisible cube or other object like that. If the player is colliding with that cube that means that the player is walking into the castle entrance, so you'll know to CLS the screen, and load your inside object, and your game can go from there. You can then have more invisible cubes in other entrances/doorways and have them take you to various areas.
