I'm using a standard .x File for my level.
The level has exported good,i need to know how to set up collisions
for my player character with my level.
It has a 3rd person camera.
I didn't use Cartography shop to model my level,but i have it,if it
will make it easier to set up the collisions.
Thanks.

You need to use the SET OBJECT COLLISION COMMANDS.

I find it quite funny that a guy with "abloke" as his forum name has "Gender: Unspecified" in his profile

Indeed...

abloc, if you have testicles, you can put in your profil that you are a male
you could try to use the command "intersect object" :



you make "lines" around your camera, and if there's an object near the camera, you push it

I dunno...when the 'boys' get together....->
MrTWAToad iv'e tried this:
load object "Level1.x",7
SET OBJECT COLLISION ON 7
SET OBJECT COLLISION TO POLYGONS 2
rem object 2 is my player character

any further help with using the collision commands for a player& a level...2 .x files,would be appreciated gentlemen.

thank you Attreid,i'll give it a go,

Is there a sample around anywhere for this?
I'm a bit new to 'scripting' in DBPro,in c++ i'm used to this kind of thing:

float cMesh::GetClosestHeight(float XPos, float YPos, float ZPos)
{
float YAbove, YBelow;

YAbove = GetHeightAbove(XPos, YPos, ZPos);
YBelow = GetHeightBelow(XPos, YPos, ZPos);
if(fabs(YAbove-YPos) < fabs(YBelow-YPos))
return YAbove;
return YBelow;
}

float cMesh::GetHeightBelow(float XPos, float YPos, float ZPos)
{
BOOL Hit;
float u, v, Dist;
DWORD FaceIndex;

D3DXIntersect(m_Mesh->m_Mesh,
&D3DXVECTOR3(XPos,YPos,ZPos),
&D3DXVECTOR3(0.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f),
&Hit, &FaceIndex, &u, &v, &Dist, NULL, NULL);
if(Hit == TRUE)
return YPos-Dist;
return YPos;
}

float cMesh::GetHeightAbove(float XPos, float YPos, float ZPos)
{
BOOL Hit;
float u, v, Dist;
DWORD FaceIndex;

D3DXIntersect(m_Mesh->m_Mesh,
&D3DXVECTOR3(XPos,YPos,ZPos),
&D3DXVECTOR3(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f),
&Hit, &FaceIndex, &u, &v, &Dist, NULL, NULL);
if(Hit == TRUE)
return YPos+Dist;
return YPos;
}

BOOL cMesh::CheckIntersect(float XStart, float YStart, float ZStart,
float XEnd, float YEnd, float ZEnd,
float *Length)
{
BOOL Hit;
float u, v, Dist;
float XDiff, YDiff, ZDiff, Size;
DWORD FaceIndex;
D3DXVECTOR3 vecDir;

XDiff = XEnd - XStart;
YDiff = YEnd - YStart;
ZDiff = ZEnd - ZStart;

D3DXVec3Normalize(&vecDir, &D3DXVECTOR3(XDiff, YDiff, ZDiff));
D3DXIntersect(m_Mesh->m_Mesh,
&D3DXVECTOR3(XStart,YStart,ZStart), &vecDir,
&Hit, &FaceIndex, &u, &v, &Dist, NULL, NULL);

if(Hit == TRUE) {
Size = (float)sqrt(XDiff*XDiff+YDiff*YDiff+ZDiff*ZDiff);
if(Dist > Size)
Hit = FALSE;
else {
if(Length != NULL)
*Length = Dist;
}
}

return Hit;
}

but i'm sure it will be slighly less code with DBPro
Thanks.

Kensupen did a nice code for .x collision, you can find it in the code snippets forum:

Thanks Oliver.
