I would like to create 3d levels in x format, but how would I determine in dgk what the current height of the object's vertex is in certain positions? Something similar to dbGetTerainHeight()?

Well there are a number of possibilites in this situation that I can think of off the top of my head.

#1 use Sparkys collsion.
#2 use DBP built in intersect command.
#3 Get Position, Rotation, Scale. Loop through the entire vertex data(or relative to position) test and find the locations of the vertex and compute the triangle face angle and that will give you the x,y,z position of your virtual intersection.
#4 store all heights in an array and interpolate the approximate value based on location rotation and scale. (this could easly be done rendering a top down view and storing the heights in a floating point look up array)( say you have a world 10000x10000, make an array 1000x1000 and store each points Y value and interpolate accross to get approximate height) for more accuracy use a higher detail array)


with #1 and #2 being the easiest methods available, I would suggest those. good luck

thanx for the reply david.

#1 does sparkys work on complex objects, such as levels?

#3 can you perhaps give me the function names to use to find the vertex data?

Sparky's does work with complex objects, SC_SetupComplexObject
