I need 2 entitys with the same type, to collide

Greetings Mortals,
I am the Mighty WERDNA.(Lord Of Darkness\Dorkness)

I am making a 3D game where I create several small vehicles, using a FOR, loop.

Like This


Global Vehicle_Type = 1

Function MakeVehicle()
For Vehicles = 1 to 100
Vehicle.Vehicle = New Vehicle
Vehicle\x = rand(0,100)
Vehicle\y = rand(0,100)
Vehicle\z = rand(0,100)
Vehice\Type = Vehicle_Type
Next
End Function

Now my problem is that I need these vehicles
to be able to over lap with each other, So they don't all just bunch up.

So my question is, how do I get several Entitys created using a FOR loop, that all have the same Type, to over lap.

The Mighty WERDNA is in need of your help, so please get back to me as soon as possible.

Not sure what you mean by overlap. If you want collision then simply do something like this:

Collisions Vehicle_Type,Vehicle_Type,1,2

Try to avoid polygonal collision detection since it may be much slower.

Thanks man,
thats exactly what I needed.
Should work perfectly for the game I'm working on.
