While writing this game framework, I ran into the problem of sliding collision.
e.g. jumping while running into a wall causes me to hang in the air...

I am using DBPro 5.8 with no enhancement packs.

look around is with mouse,
jump is space bar(this needs to be smoothed out, but I think I know how to do that)
movement is with the wasd keys
Here is the code.

the Media you will have to supply yourself.

Can't see the code (unless you're magic like TDK that SOURCE button doesn't work), but it sounds like using Sparky's .dll for the collision will work well for you.

If you have DBC, check here:

Ah, you're using a matrix. In that case Sparky's .dll won't work. You'll have to use the GET MATRIX HEIGHT command and position your player appropriately. Here are a couple examples from the codebase:

http://darkbasic.thegamecreators.com/?m=codebase_view&i=c69d16a48b427fd9999f6eca4b746d69

Also try the tank demo included with the DB examples.

Hmmm...
checked it out, nice information...

I just found something else called "versatile sliding collision"

I was planning on moving it from matrix to model..main problem with that was that my ".X" to ".bsp" converter wasn't working...

hopefully this thread will be helpful to someone besides me!
