hi again. i been trying to figuar out how to get my collison working right.. for some reason my guy hits the wall about 1 little matrix squre away from the objects.. do you guys think this is good collison code ot do you think it will slow the game down if the array gets to big.. also can anyone see why it doesn't go all the way to the objects or could it be just my guy is bigger then he looks..

+ Code Snippet

   for i=11 to 17
   rem Check to see if player is colliding with any obstacles - object 1 is collision sphere, object 11-16 are obstacles
   position object 1,x#,y#,z#
      if object collision(1,i)=1
         position object 1,x#,y#,oldz#
         if object collision(1,i)=0
            z#=oldz#
         else
            position object 1,oldx#,y#,z#
            if object collision(1,i)=0
               x#=oldx#
            else
               x#=oldx#
               z#=oldz#
            endif
         endif
      endif
   next i

   if i=17 then i=11

hmm there's a line in the bottom of your code that looks odd : if i=17 then i=11
did you post the whole code ?

for your guy's size : if you use a x or 3ds model, yeah, it's biggger than it looks, you should set the collision system to polygons

ok i changed the collison to use polygons it worked to get the guy a bit closers i attached two screen shots to show the difference but the buy is still a bit away from it. i plan on using all x models. and that if i=17 then i=11 statement. it just loops it back to 11. probally don't even need it.. anyway is there a way to get them go closer or should i use some other type of collision dection..

here the images

   for i=11 to 17
SET OBJECT COLLISION TO polygons 1

   rem Check to see if player is colliding with any obstacles - object 1 is collision sphere, object 11-16 are obstacles
   position object 1,x#,y#,z#
      if object collision(1,i)=1
         position object 1,x#,y#,oldz#
         if object collision(1,i)=0
            z#=oldz#
         else
            position object 1,oldx#,y#,z#

            else
