Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong with collision in the following piece of code:

make object box 100,50,10,50
position object 100,0,125,700
color object 100,rgb(100,200,100)
make object collision box 100,-25,-5,-25,25,5,25,0
set object collision on 100

I'm not the sharpest guy around here, but while you're waiting for a someone smart to come along I would suggest posting your whole program. We'll at least need to see your loop in order to determine the problem. Probably the problem is in detecting the collision. And try to describe what you're trying to do. What is colliding with what? You can post all of your code brackets like this:

make object box 100,50,10,50
position object 100,0,125,700
color object 100,rgb(100,200,100)
make object collision box 100,-25,-5,-25,25,5,25,0
set object collision on 100
(more code)

use these (without spaces)
[ code ]
[ /code ]

Hopefully, this has been helpful and not annoying

Best of luck for your game/program, Elited

Well, like DayGamer said, you aren't detecting for collision and there is no loop. So far, I don't see anything "wrong" with your code but it is simply incomplete.

Here is a small snippet which demonstrates basic collision detection

+ Code Snippet

sync on : sync rate 60

` make cubes
make object cube 1,100
make object cube 2,100

` position cubes
position object 1, -500, 0, 0
position object 2, 500, 0, 0

` position and point camera
position camera 0, 0, 0, -700
point camera 0, 0, 0, 0

` variable to allow cube 1 to move
x as integer 
x = object position x(1)

do
    ` move cube left and right
    if rightkey()=1 then inc x, 5
    if leftkey()=1 then dec x, 5
    
    ` position the cube
    position object 1, x, 0, 0
    
    ` Detect for collision
    if object collision(1,2)=1 then text 0, 0, "Collision!!!" ` if collision, say something
    
    ` refresh
    sync
    
loop
