I'm having trouble with Planetary Gravity and Collisions in a Zero-G Space Flight game environment. I'm new to Dark GDK and SC_Collision.

I figured for Planetary Gravity, I'd use an invisible sphere that represents the Gravity Field, and check for Ship (or RenderableObjects in general) inside of it using something like SC_objectCollision. My problem is, when multiple objects are inside this field, I can't just use SC_objectCollision( object#, 0 ) to give me a list of collisions like I can with SC_multipleRayCast()

I have to do a:

SC_objectCollision (obj, 0) // check if anything is in the gravity field

for (...) {
// check every object in space to see if it collided
}

Doesn't seem very efficient. Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance,

When setting up objects its handy to put them into groups. I usually use a level group, player group, players bullets group, baddies group, baddies bullets group. That way you can just simply do a group collision per bullet against all the baddies.
