| Hi Everyone, I'm a total newbe to Blitz3D, but from what I see it's fantastic. I've seen scads of samples and demos for terrain type stuff. Can Blitz3D do things like a 3D virtual maze. 'Doom'ish FPS inside tunnels etc.? If so can someone direct me to a sample, tutorial, or explanation on how the basics are done? Thanks ahead of time for any help offered. Gimpy |

| A large subject to cover... Some key elements you will need 1) A dungeon maze You can model this yourself in something like CartographyShop/Milkshape or if you have lots of cash 3DStudioMax/Maya etc 2) Things like doors/locks/buttons/pits/pressure plates...again these can be modelled using the above. 3) A way of moving around the maze You can find a few FPS framework code in the code archives. http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1137 It is an immense task to get this all together, best of luck! ;) Here is my current effort... http://www.blitzbasic.com/gallery/view_pic.php?id=889&gallery=&page=1 |

| About building a 3D level, you may non forget to try out Maplet, which is free for Blitz3D users. Sergio. |

| i would create an array of different tiles and create a random map generator using som simple rules, for example the max amount of encounters and traps allowed in a given corridor/room. |

| Try this code This is a template for a basic, random 3D maze. Currently it is random block placement, but should be easy to substitute. And it's not free-moving FPS, but has been changed to step-by-step camera movement. Still, some of it may be helpful! It was a very early design, so looks very basic. Needs a roof/Skybox too! |

| Thanks again everyone. Gimpy |
