Hi!
I decided to use the free Nuclear Glory Collision DLL 1.5.
But I'm having problems with it.

At first, I call UpdateSlidingCollision.
Then I position the camera to the new position values (NewPlayer*)

But when I start the game, the camera is in my level! (I enabled AUTOCAM before loading the level).
Please help me.

Please wait. Loading sick nature...

The first thing I would do is get NG 2.03, it's worth the $15, honest!

Most folks turn autocam off and manually place the camera to get better control over it.

1.5 eh?

OK, the dll works by checking the vector from the OldPosition to the NewPosition against the CollisionMesh. If a collision is detected it will send back the new position as it would be if you were sliding against the walls as you hit them.

So...its your (codes) responsability to have an old position which you store, then calculate your new position (where you'd like to be based on user input) and send that lot through to the dll. It will then return the (adjusted) newposition back to you.

So - look at your code - are you playing ball with that? You need somthing like this (psuedo code)

Setup vars
do
Store old position (oldPosX, Y & Z)
get user input
Calculate new position based on input (NewPosX, Y & Z)
Send old & new positions to the dll
Actually put your camera/object at the position the dll specifies
sync
loop

autocam means the camera will automatically look at any new object created.

dont for get you have to pass the collision mash into the dll (or smothing like that) at the start of the level. this is done in the example using a function called load collision object.

www.zaneproductions.tk - lots of games, no Dark basic ones though (yet)!
