hi all,
what i want my game to do is when the gun which is locked in object 1 has collision with something (in this case a cube) the camera can not go any further because of collision. At the moment when it collides it is hesistant for a second and then lets through please help me fix the code.

I don't know if it will help, but why have have you got the positioning, scaling, locking and setting collision on inside the loop?

It may be to do with SCALE OBJECT, when you scale an object, DB uses the original object size for collision and yeah, you dont need LOCK OBJECT, SCALE OBJECT, SET OBJECT COLLISION ON AND SET GLOBAL COLLISION ON inside the main loop.I think GLOBAL COLLISION is turned on by default anyway

Why don't you make static collision boxes for the objects you collide with and make the camera collide rather than the gun?

i use math collision more than anything else, so collision boxes and all that aren't my forte. but, instead of using the camera for collision, you could make a sphere, position at the camera's location, hide it, and check for collision with the sphere instead of the camera. just a suggestion, hope it helps...

maybe its because your positioning the camera before setting "moveable" to zero, would have to see more code
