okay so i need to find out if an object is hitting nothing at all. Cycling through all existing objects and calculating collision would be too slow, and if(dbObjectCollision(object,0)==0) does not seem to work. so is there any way to do this?

that returns if 2 given objects collide. what I need is it 1 object and ANY object collide. meaning if the object hits the terrain: it returns something other than 0, if it hits a table, it returns something other than 0.

make a loops that runs through all the objects and test for each of them separately.

Yes, there is:

Use dbObjectCollision(ObjA, 0). By setting the second parameter to zero, the command will return the object number that collided with ObjA. Simple, isn't it?

Simple yes, i tried that however and it refuses to return 0 when there is no collission. it basically says there is always a collission and refuses to allow me to move -.-

Learn to set up and use groups in sparkys. Then you can check a WHOLE group is one fo - and not kill FPS

ITs better to check a couple grous: trees group, rocks group, terrain tiles group ... than iterating through each "thing" individually!

I agree with Jason, use sparky's, and use the group thing in it, example-

dbMakeObjectSphere ( 1, 23.0f );
dbMakeObjectBox ( 2, 10.0f, 20.0f, 10.0f );
SC_SetupObject ( 1, 1, 1 );
SC_SetupObject ( 2, 1, 2 );
//Later in the code

if ( !SC_GroupCollision ( 3, 1 ){
}

That probably will work better, as Jason said. (This code is a little messy, mostly because it isn't a full code, but I think you get the point!)
