So I'm pretty new at programming and need help figuring out the simple things in codeing, like collisions. Does anyone know how to add collisions to an object? I would love for you to show me, because I really need to learn how to add collisions to objects.

This is a difficult collision to answer. There are several types of collision. I would assume the type that you're looking for is sliding collision; however, that might be a large assumption.

I would recommend looking at the tutorial page for DBPro. I believe the Huge Dungeons has an example of very basic collision. My next suggestion would to be look for external DLLs such as Sparky's... if you use the Thread Subject Search you will find tons of information (well only a 100 at a time).

EDIT:
Sparky's is below... thanks... I really ought to save some of these links sometime or another.

If at first you dont succeed, LOWER YOUR STANDARDS.

"How to add collision" is a pretty complicated topic. I mean, collision plugins use all sorts of optimization and complicated math to check for collision and then find an appropriate response.

Sparky's DLL would be your best bet, but you might want to start out with 2d stuff first, until you know the important things (functions, arrays, UDTs, etc.)

Thank you all for your help but my friend figured out an easier way.

rem replace 1 with the number of the object you want collision for
c1 = object position x(1)
c2 = object position y(1)
c3 = object position z(1)
if object collision (1,0) then position object 1,c1,c2,c3

That's it in about it's simplest form but your player might get stuck.
