Anyone have NGC 3.01 working for them? I've been fighting with this since last night and have read the online manual 3 times and the source examples, all to no avail.

trying to get collision between player

+ Code Snippet

 
rem add player
make object sphere 1,10
CollisionTypePRO(1,ARMY_MEN )
 position object 1,30,10,25
  hide object 1

and a construct

+ Code Snippet

rem add center
 load object "mediaconstructsuppliescentre.dbo",101
CollisionTypePRO(101,WORLD_MESHES)
  position object 101,764,-25,325
   scale object 101,12,12,12

I have this at the very top of my project

+ Code Snippet

#Constant NCULL_COUNTER_CLOCK 1
#Constant NCULL_CLOCK 2
#Constant NCULL_NONE 3

#Constant TYPE_NGC_ELLIP=1
#Constant TYPE_NGC_MESH=2

#Constant ELLIP_2_ELLIP=1
#Constant ELLIP_2_POLY=2

#Constant RESP_STICK=1
#Constant RESP_SLIDE=2
#Constant RESP_SLIDE_NO_SLOPES=3
#Constant RESP_SLIDE_NO_GRAV=4
#Constant RESP_SLIDE_NO_ACCEL=5
#Constant RESP_NONE=6

#Constant DYN_NO_RESP=1
#Constant DYN_RESP=2
#Constant DYN_RESP_NOTURN=3

then just below that

+ Code Snippet

StartCollisionPRO(my,key,here)
StartCollisionDebugPRO()

ARMY_MEN = 1
WORLD_MESHES = 2

SetCollisionsPRO( ARMY_MEN, WORLD_MESHES, ELLIP_2_POLY, RESP_SLIDE, DYN_NO_RESP )

And

+ Code Snippet

RunCollisionPRO()

in my main loop, just above Sync.

Never use scale object on an object entered into NGC. Use the replacement command (I forget the name). setobjscalepro(), scaleobjectpro() or similar.

Also you will have to use setobjradiuspro() for your players ellip or it will use 2,2,2 (I think this is the default).

If using v3 it should be

SetCollisionsPRO( ARMY_MEN, WORLD_MESHES, ELLIP_2_POLY, RESP_SLIDE, DYN_NO_RESP, 0 )

Add the auto flag (,0) at the end.

Well, game loads now. Had to place SetCollisionsPRO( ARMY_MEN, WORLD_MESHES, ELLIP_2_POLY, RESP_STICK, DYN_NO_RESP,0) at the very bottom of my code. But, still not working.

I'll add you when I get home.

[edit] And I forgot ... in NGCv3 all collision modes are bugged. The only one half way decent is RESP_SLIDE.

[edit] The part of your code before the main loop should look something like this.

The call RunCollisionPRO() in your main loop, before the sync command and after your object movement code.

How long ago did you send/post? You can get the demo here until he replys then all you will have to do is enter the access keys:

http://www.nuclearglory.com/developer/NGColl/v203/dbp_demo_pack.zip

NGC v2.03 page is here.
http://www.nuclearglory.com/php-bin/t2/manage/prod_ngc_old.php

That demo is fully functional. It just has a loop number limit that makes everything freeze after so long. Keep your fps capped at 30 or so and it will run long enough for testing. If I see Matthew before then I'll make sure he got the email.

Also they have their own forum as well

Ok,got the 2.03. Should I use the same code you provided,LIT ?

[edit]
tried 2.03 with all previous instructions. I got errors for each command including a few right from ngcollision.dba. It must be something im doing. I'll send you the full source whenever you're home. If you dont mind.

Sure thing. I won't be home for another 11 hours or so though. But I'll have a look.

I am a MOD on NGC forums not here

I will try with my media. I'll make it work and we'll see how it works with yours. If we need to adjust it we will.
