No I'm not talking purely collision.
I can now make an object tilt to stay on a matrix but is it possible
to do the same with an object for floor?
I'm using DBC.

Uhm, can you elaborate? "Make an object tilt to stay on a matrix", what do you mean by that?

Its not a bug, its a feature!

I mean that, for instance, if you have a car on a tilting track then the car rotates to keep all 4 wheels on the track. Like in the Tank demo.

yup, basically you just need a function to replace "get ground height" in your tilt routine...
Something like this i'd imagine :

obj is the model you are using
x# and z# are the coordinates above the model, just like get ground height.
This will only work for models that are structured similarly to matrices, so it won't work very well for a building model for instance.

However after writing that, i realised there is no intersect object function in dbc, although if i remember correctly, someone released a library of functions for dbc and intersect object was one fo them.
