The example on the first person camera demo is pretty straight forward, but I was just wondering if any of you ever got third person game camera collision to work? Because the camera is dependent upon the main character's position...I'm using Sparky's collision right now, but honestly it's not very effective because the camera still manages to slide through corners of my world, which is quite strange.

how have you got your camera set up, I mean can you see the character's or does eveything move in one view.

f you can see your character's then you are going to have to work out how to do it.

Hello Christopher Reeves,

I tried to make it work but I failed miserably

The world collision worked OK, but I couldn't get a collision registered using "temp = phy ray cast all shapes".

So far, this has been my progress regarding camera collision:

0.- No camera collision at all
1.- Used DBPro's "static volume"
2.- Used Sparky's "SC_SphereSlide"
3.- Used Dark Physics' "phy ray cast all shapes"
4.- Using Sparky's "SC_RayCast"

So far, the fourth method has given me very good results.

Best regards

JF

Christopher Reeves, if you can make a small demo of how to did it and post is snippets or make a new thread stating what does in the title, then will be wiser next time.
