Thank you matty, I will look at that. I also have Dark Physics which is a wrapper for physX, but have not tried that yet either.
I still hope that with a simple tweak, Sparky's can put the object in the correct place, (i.e. not 0,0,0). Perhaps it would help if I shared the fullness of my code. Here it is:
#include "DarkGDK.h"
#include "SC_Collision.h"
void collision()
{
if( SC_ObjectCollision(3, 0) )
{
dbPositionObject( 3, SC_GetCollisionBounceX(),SC_GetCollisionBounceY(),SC_GetCollisionBounceZ() );
}
}
void move(int iObj, float fMove, float fTurn)
{
float fDistance = -10.0, fHeight = 10.0, fSmooth = 1.0;
float fAngle = dbWrapValue( dbObjectAngleY(iObj) );
if( dbUpKey() )
{
//move foreward
dbMoveObject(iObj, -fMove);
}
if( dbDownKey() )
{
//move backward
dbMoveObject(iObj, fMove);
}
if( dbRightKey() )
{
//turn right
dbYRotateObject(iObj, fAngle += fTurn);
}
if( dbLeftKey() )
{
//turn left
dbYRotateObject(iObj, fAngle -= fTurn);
}
dbPositionObject(iObj, dbObjectPositionX(iObj), dbGetTerrainGroundHeight(1, dbObjectPositionX(iObj), dbObjectPositionZ(iObj)) , dbObjectPositionZ(iObj));
SC_UpdateObject(iObj);
//adjust camera
dbSetCameraToFollow(dbObjectPositionX(iObj), dbObjectPositionY(iObj), dbObjectPositionZ(iObj), fAngle, fDistance, fHeight, fSmooth, 0);
dbYRotateCamera( fAngle + 180 );
}

I believe that the bug is in the collision() function, possibly with the implimentation of Sparky's.
Please, if anyone could look at this and help me find this bug I would really apprciate it.
ThanX.
