Hi, I'm making a new game and I'm going to try to use sliding collision. Only one problem, I can't figure out how to use it. I admit this is probably increadibly easy, but could someone post the correct way of using it.

I havent had the chance to learn any sliding collision comands, but if all you want to do is walls (that dont rotate) this works:

if x#>1000 then x#=1000
if x#<0 then x#=0
if z#>1000 then z#=1000
if z#<0 then z#=0

hope it helps

.........what's the point of reading this?

And check out our collision plugin.

It's not an easy thing to mathematically program, however, using our plugin makes sliding collision a breeze

NG's DLL is highly recommended, although you need to have the DB enhancement installed before you can take advantage of it.

Greetings Manticore
Sounds like a truly worth while subject. Could you give some more details on where abouts you are in the problem. I'm no expert. I wouldn't want to bore you with what you already know. If it's a big problem could you break it down to a simple example. Step back from the game for a minute. Work as if you were building a sliding collision demo. I'll check back to see what you've got.

Thank you. I'm glad it was helpful. If you come up with any ideas or improvements of your own I hope you will share them in a post. Anyone wanting to try the demo as is need only copy and paste into Dark Basic.
