Hi, I'm trying to simulate a charachter moving into a labyrinth and then he moves into a house through a door.

I found difficult to set the collision because using simple collision
code
load object "man.x",1
load object "wall.x",2
set object collison on 1
set object collision on 2
if object collision(1,2)=1 then move object 1,-2

but either the labyrinth and the house have a "Cube" setting for collisions so the charachter stops before entering.

What could I do to set the collisions on the complex object shape

I want to excuse me for the noob's question but it makes me mad.

You'll be wanting to use a plugin for collision really. The built in collision is fairly poor and quite slow.

Sparky's Collision DLL - http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=74762&b=5
This is great for basic collision handling and is free.

Dark Dynamix - http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=view_product&id=2318
An excellent full physics solution based on PhysX. This will do your collision handling but also covers things like ragdoll, cloth and vehicle physics. My personal choice.

Hope this helps.

If I'm not much mistaken, Sparky's Collision DLL comes with a couple of examples which you should be able to pick up the basics from. Take a look at those and if you're still unsure afterwards then let me know and I'm sure I can put a quick tutorial together for you.

Time for me to shamelessly advertise my code.
