Here is a version of using a DBP 5.8 Matrix and NGC 2.03. You can reposition the matrix *after entering it into the collision system* as much as you want. You can't yet and probably never will be able to quickly edit the matrix's collision data though. So no changing the matrixs without having to reload them. Maybe when v3 is fixed it is something we can look at. The only reason I done this was for bullet calcs on instant bullets. Get ground height is way faster for slow moving objects. I will clean this up and comment better later it is 2:30 a.m. here and I need some sleep.

[stupid swaer filter is blocking my code thought there is no swears in it] will post a .zip.

Here is a neater code with lots of comments and a few extra NGC safetys when using matrixs.

[edit] You will want to lower the values of these variables in that code as I left them extremely high for testing: (I would change them to 20 for running on all systems)

xsegs = 20
zsegs = 20

Sounds good but un-neccesary. I don't really understand what it is needed for. You can check for collisions using ground height and you can work out angles of collisions quite easily as well.

Yeah I need to edit the example. You need this for fast bullet calcs to stop a bullet from going through the matrix. As I said get ground height is faster for slow moving collisions. I'll post an example of instant bullet collision when I get time.

[edit] Here is a quickly modified version showing get ground height for slow moving collision (player) and instant collision (lazer). You can easily modify the lazer to be a bullet. All you have to do is extract, copy your NGC dll into the folder, compile, and run.

I will be testing this a bit more and probably breaking the matrixs up as well as using sparky's dll to test as it is faster.
