I wanted to create a simple 1hr program to play around with & branch off of but it is not working.

+ Code Snippet

hide mouse
sync on
position camera 0,0,0
load object "target.x",1
rotate object 1,0,90,0
position object 1,0,0,500
scale object 1,5000,5000,5000
x# = rnd(200)
y# = rnd(200)
z# = 500
bullet = -2
make object sphere 2,0.5
position object 2,0,0,bullet
do
if upkey() = 1 then y# = y# + 1
if downkey() = 1 then y# = y# - 1
if leftkey() = 1 then x# = x# - 1
if rightkey() = 1 then x# = x# +1
if spacekey() = 1 then go = 1
if go = 1 then bullet = bullet + 1
if object collision(1,2)>0 then end
color backdrop rgb(x#,y#,z#/5)
position object 1,x#,y#,z#
position object 2,0,0,bullet
sync
loop

It won't detect there collision & I've tried if object hit(1,2)>0 with no luck either. Any ideas?

Try putting in, after the objects have been loaded in/created;
Set Global Collision On

But, DBC's built-in collision isn't the best to put it nicely.

If you can, use something like a distance check;

+ Code Snippet

dist# = Sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 + (z2 - z1)^2)

It's always best to steer away from the built-in collision if you can, as it's not too great.

Here are two examples that use simple 'shooting type' collision similar to your code. One just tests for the bullet and the target.

The other tests the bullet and several targets.
