This is really good. Thanx alot. I made the same for an object. I know everybody can do that but I made it easier. Just copy the code here and paste it into the xcol DBpro source.

`.X Model sliding collision
`By Kensupen and Lokidecat
`Nerdsoft Creations (C) 2003
`***************************
`This uses all native DBPro commands to give a user sliding collision
`against ANY .X model to slide on ANY angle. It works almost as good as BSP
`collision, except for height. If you can walk onto an object, it just
`puts you at that height. I might try to advance the code later to give
`a smooth height adjustment.
