hi,

after reading all the tutorials that come with the dark gdk and some others, i started to create a simple fps game.
now, ive got a terrain loaded (the one included in the tutorial with adjusted height etc.), a weapon locked onto the camera and a 3d monster standing on the terrain. ive also got the movement done (arrow keys + mouse). now ive included sparky's collision, i did set up the collision for the monster and the terrain correctly but i dont know how to "enable" the collision for the camera and how to add "gravity". i have checked sparky's examples that come with the dll but i dont really get it.
so basically, i want to know how i can make the camera collideable using sparkys collision and not the dbAutomaticCameraCollision (at least for my experience that doesnt make it collide with other "sparky" objects) and how i can setup a gravity for objects and the camera on a terrain.

regards,

As far as the camera 'collision' im not sure about , but the gravity is in the sliding demo

You could make a sphere and set it up for collision. Then, just position the camera to the sphere's position every loop.

And as SFCBias said, the gravity is in the sliding demo.

hi, thanks for your tipps!!

for now, i tried both, the sphere around my camera and weapon and the movement that heyufool1 posted, it doesnt work properly yet tho. but it is really nice!
are there any disadvantage if u just use a sphere? and how is it done in professional games (i suppose they got a camera collision or a body as a player but the dark engine doesnt have those features?)
and i noticed that heyufool1's solution is using a sphere as well, so are basically nearly all solutions using spheres/cubes etc?

regards
