does anyone have a copy of the DBE Maths Library? I need it for an FPS, and the original link in the Program Announcements board is broken.

I am making an FPS, and I need an Intersect Object function for DBC. The Maths Library had one, but I never got the dll.

sorry, but I can't find the old post with the original link...
but I know it's somewhere within the Progam Announcements board.

What do you need that for? can't you just use collisions?
sorry I haven't seen it, have you tried the google forum search?

Sounds a bit like sparky's collision DLL:

Sparky

Enjoy your day.

Obese,

The DBC built-in collisions stink, and its almost impossible to do sliding collision.

Latch,
I never got how to do collision with Sparky's dll.
Also, this dll is supposed to be faster.

Sparky's is pretty darn fast.

For sparky's, the first thing to do is setup your object(s)



once that's done, In your loop, you cast rays in different directions and see if there is any collision with the object that you set up:



The oldx oldy oldz is the start of the ray position. The x y and z is the end of the ray. If an object falls between the start and end and it is set for detection, then a collision will be flagged.

That's basically it.

Enjoy your day.
