Just your main loop, as thats where your problem is:



What that does is gets the camera position on X and Z, then uses that with the terrain height function to get the Y coordinate. Added 10.0 to the height value to raise the camera above the terrain.

Hi there.

@Nathan C
Van B has given you a complete example of how to walk on an advanced terrain.Yestarday night,(in canary islands), my wife call me finally...she do it from time to time and I didnĀ“t see your example until right now.

Here I show you how to walk and how to collide with the terrain(we don`t collide exactly...we just check if four points around us are higher than us, and then we stop in that direction).

Download the complete example.

cheers.
