Ok I've built a terrain, but it has some spots that aren't supposed to be able to get on/to. I need help on using COLLISIONS.

Not much info to go on there.

You might look at the terrain height where the character/camera are located versus what it is after you move and only allow movement if the Y increase is below a certain amount. This assumes that you have significant increase in height in your walls, mountains, etc.

Depending upon the size of the area, you could place a box or plane on each side of it, hide them and check for collision with them. You could make one large box to cover it all if it is a square or rectangular area.

You could also check the world coordinates and make sure that you do not enter a particular area. For a circular area, you could use vector3 to check distance.

Hope this helps. If not, please post more info / code.

Well i have the terrain set up with fences built into it. I don't want to be able to go over or through them, but to go through the gate when enough force is applied.

This really isn't the right Board to ask this. Which programming Language are you using?

I assumed you had made a terrain from a heightmap and detailmap, but now it sounds like you made an object (.x or .3ds). Please clarify.

Sorry i'm new to this programming stuff. BiggAdd i'm using Visual c++ and dark GDk. LBFN I am using wings 3d to make the terrain because i can't find a free terrain maker.

Yeah, it would be better to post about this on the Dark GDK board, as it is more of a programming issue. You're making an object that can be used as terrain, whereas an actual terrain is technically different. I would try to help if I could, but I'm a DBP guy.

Good luck,

I'll move this to the DarkGDK Boards, they may be able to offer a little more coding insight to your collision problems.

err with dark gdk we use sparkys collision, i believe you can setup darkphysics to handle your collision aswell

Come Check Out My W.I.P Post: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=151415&b=8
