Hi guys,
I made a pitiful attempt at a collision. I have a textured plain in the center of a textured skysphere. I tried making an invisible box that would follow the camera around and serve as a collision object since DarkBASIC classic doesn't allow for camera-collisions. If you guys need me to isolate the code a little bit then just yell at me and I'll fix it.

thanks

Hmmm, I won't change your code, but here's a couple of things to consider.

Firstly, try making your player object position the same as the camera by positioning it at the camera location before checking collision.

Secondly, the check collision function does'nt appear to specify any objects to check - perhaps it needs the object references - it could be that CamhitX Y and Z are storing object numbers instead of offsets. It could be that it needs to detect an actual collision with OBJECT HIT or something before assigning the offsets to GET OBJECT COLLISION X() etc.

P.S. Ignore that source attached to this post, it's just the same thing.

Your observations really got the clock ticking Van B, thanks man.

@RPGamer I checked out Nuclear Glory's DLL, looked so awesome I had to wipe the saliva off the keyboard. But when I tried the 2.02 demo it wouldn't let me include the NGCollision.dba file. Do I need to get the enhancement pack to use #includes if I already have upgraded to DBClassic v1.13?


thanks & merry christmas eve eve ,

lol @ RPGamer
EDIT: I wasn't slacking by the way. I was building a forum for our website that can now be found under the "Community" section.

@Juvenile Industries
Yes, for DBClassic you need the enhancement pack. As I recall, the enhancement pack is necessary to use DLLs anyway, so there's probably no way around that.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks nuclearglory,
As soon as I pull together some mula I'll try your DLL out, all the screenshots on your site look beautiful, and the program that molds matrices to 3d objects was an answer to my prayers as well.
