I have been working on my game and I have come across a problem, is there a way to set a If object collision() and inside the brackets have something that sets it to object 1 to 60 or something like that?

Try again, but make a little more sense this time please.

The only thing I worked out from your post was that you have a problem...

Sorry, I couldn't think of a way to put it, basically is there a way to enter more than two objects into something like "If object collision(1,x)". Like 1 to 5, so if object 1 collides objects 1 to 5 what ever happens in the if statement happens to them. Hope that makes more sense.

It sounds like he wants to check for collision with multiple objects. Use a for/next loop giving the loop's variable as the object to check. That, or get sparky's dll, and set up every object in the same group, and perform group collision.

Eg;



Look up loops for more info.

Ah I see now... I think!

Say the main object is number 100 and you want to check for collision with objects 1 to 5 you would use:



But that's only for DB's built-in collision and probably not of use if you use Sparky's DLL as Ruccus suggested.

Groups in sparky's dll are easy to set up.

Every object that will be used with sparky's dll needs to be setup with the syntax:

SC_setupObject Object_Num , Group_Num , Collision_Type

There are various collision types, look into them in the help files. But the group num parameter is what forms the groups. If you have 2 objects, you could set them both up in the same group (any group number you want, except 0, 0 means no group).

SC_setupObject 1, 1, 1
SC_setupObject 2, 1, 1

Now both objects are in group 1. Sparky's dll has seperate group commands for every collision command there is. So now, instead of calling for example, the SC_sphereSlide command and giving 1 object number, you would call the SC_sphereSlideGroup command, and giving the group number 1.
