Is there a way to see if one object is hitting another object at an x or y angle so i can figure out what ways it can and cant move?

OK, did some research, and it seems like i need get object collision x,y, or z. but what EXACTLY do these commands return? also, ive seen commands like "if object collision(1,2)>1" how could it be greater than 1???

I would look into Sparky's Collision DLL myself. It's a lot better than the DBP built in commands.

If you use 0 as the 2nd value in object collision, i.e All objects; then it returns the object number of the object colliding with the 1st object.

The other commands return sliding collision data; I think these have been added recently, as I don't remember ever seeing them before. There is an example tho in the help files.

The DarkBasic files are here: C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark Basic Professional.
The .DLL goes in Compiler\plugins-user.
The .INI goes in Editor\Keywords.
The help files go in the Help folder.
