I'm creating a small 'battle arena' type game, and it's still very incomplete. The only problem so far is that the collision detection won't work. If you're wondering, yes, I read the tutorial again and again, it still doesn't work. Here's the code:


Please post an extension of the code explaining what I've done wrong.

If con is the oppostie of pro, then what is the opposite of progress?

Specifics please. 'Won't work' isn't a lot of help.

Which one?

Your code looks like it should work - it's what you are doing when the collision triggers that doesn't look right. You are also only checking for collision between objects 4 and 1 though.

Read a proper tutorial on collision...

(Tutorial number 10).

@TDK: Won't work? Pretty much all the sphere does is move straight through the brick wall. Tutorial? I was using the Monster Hunt tutorial on the site. I read your tutorial, and tried the different commands. For OBJECT HIT() it finds the collision fine, the sphere stops for a second, but then continues to go through the brick. For OBJECT COLLISION() it found the collision, then stopped the sphere for all eternity. Hope that answers your questions.

Also, use relative paths. Do not use

But use (if your project is in C:/Program Files/Dark Basic Software/Dark Basic/)
Quote: "load image "media/bitmaps/textures/realmetaldull01.bmp",3"

This will allow other people to play the game properly.
