I am looking to make a simple 3d game for educational purposes.

Is there a simple way of not walking through the 'walls' of a DBO world?

Can I place other objects in a DBO world and interact / click with them?

I saw the collision library referenced and I really don't want an entire library.

thanks

Yes, you can place objects in your world, apply collision behaviors to them so they'll stay on the ground, but can be interacted with.

If you want to use built in collision commands, there's a room demo that should have come with DBPro that shows you how to not walk through walls, and also lets you push a segment of the wall around to reveal a hidden room. That code should help you get what you're after.

The problem is that I don't have dbpro, using the C/C++ darkgdk. Is there any way I can get at this demo?
thanks for the response

an easy (but not the recomended way) not to walk through walls:

lets say the dbo level is object number 1

dbSetObjectCollisionToPolygons ( 1);
dbAutomaticCameraCollision ( 1, 10, 1);

The 10 is the collision radius, so the camera must always be higher than this from the ground.
