Collisions In Functions

| Can anyone please tell if you are able to allow collisions within a function, i don't know how. I have the game levels as seperate functions in order to make the code more readable and easier to navigate through, but my collision routines just don't seem to be working. :-( Thanks for any help IcE |

| Anyone? IcE |

| Collisions routines? Collisions in functions? Once collisions are set up blitz handles everything internaly. What are yopu trying to do/what are you doing now? A code example would be very helpful, thanks. |

| Heres the code. It's not quite in functions at the moment but for some reason, the collision routines not working even though it isn't in a function. Can you tell me where i'm going wrong please? The code: ;------------------- ;Graphics setup ;------------------- SetBuffer BackBuffer() Graphics3D 800,600 ;--------- ;Variables ;--------- Global player_speed#=10 Global stage=0 Global thickness=0.9 location$="blues room" Global cam=CreateCamera() CameraRange cam,1,10000 ;--------- ;Collision ;--------- pl=1 ro=2 ;----------------- ;Initialise player ;----------------- player_texture=LoadTexture("gfx/textures/blue_tex.bmp") lightmap=LoadTexture("gfx/textures/lightmap.bmp",64) Global player=LoadAnimMesh("gfx/models/blue.3ds") Global player_cell=LoadAnimMesh("gfx/models/blue.3ds",player) head=FindChild(player,"head") EntityTexture head,player_texture body=FindChild(player,"body") EntityTexture body,player_texture left_arm=FindChild(player,"larm") EntityTexture left_arm,player_texture right_arm=FindChild(player,"rarm") EntityTexture right_arm,player_texture left_foot=FindChild(player,"lfoot") EntityTexture left_foot,player_texture right_foot=FindChild(player,"rfoot") EntityTexture right_foot,player_texture cellshade(player_cell) EntityTexture player,lightmap EntityType player,pl,True ScaleEntity player,.3,.3,.3 EntityRadius player,23 ;blues_room() ;--------- ;Variables ;--------- exists=1 ;-------------- ;Loading screen ;-------------- load_screen=LoadImage("gfx/loading.bmp") DrawImage load_screen,0,0 Flip ;------------------ ;Initialise objects ;------------------ blue_room=LoadAnimMesh("gfx/models/blue_room.3ds") blue_room_cell=LoadAnimMesh("gfx/models/blue_room.3ds",blue_room) cellshade(blue_room_cell) EntityType blue_room,ro,True cam_position=FindChild(blue_room,"campos") point=FindChild(blue_room,"bluestart") AmbientLight 255,255,255 ;---------------- ;Position objects ;---------------- PositionEntity blue_room,0,0,0 EntityParent cam,cam_position,False ;---------- ;Collisions ;---------- Collisions pl,ro,2,3 ;---- ;Loop ;---- While exists=1 PointEntity cam,player player_control() If KeyDown(1) Then exists=0 RenderWorld Flip Wend FreeImage load_screen FreeEntity blue_room End Thanks for your kind help :-) IcE |

| Any help would be really appriciated. Please if anyone can tell me where i'm going wrong, i can't really progress any further until I have got it sorted out. Thankyou :-) IcE |

| Uh-hum!, you see, you checked for collisions before your loop even began. The correct method is to check for collisions each loop. Soooo... Change this: ;---------- ;Collisions ;---------- Collisions pl,ro,2,3 ;---- ;Loop ;---- While exists=1 PointEntity cam,player player_control() If KeyDown(1) Then exists=0 RenderWorld Flip Wend FreeImage load_screen FreeEntity blue_room End to something along this line: ;---- ;Loop ;---- While exists=1 PointEntity cam,player player_control() If KeyDown(1) Then exists=0 ;---------- ;Collisions ;---------- Collisions pl,ro,2,3 UpdateWorld RenderWorld Flip ;CountCollisions ;ClearCollisions Wend FreeImage load_screen FreeEntity blue_room End (I believe you have to call collisions before updateworld (I'm at work right now and my memory stinks) and then countcollisions or clearcollisions if necessary) |

| Thanks WolRon, i'll give it a try and see how it goes. I really appriciate your help. :-) |
| ||
| Hmmm, no joy :-(. Ah well, thanks for the help all the same :-) If there are any more solutions to this please keep me updated. Many thanks :-) |

| Wait!!! i got it. Thankyou ever so much!!!! It was only the "Updateworld" command i was missing ;-). Thankyou for reminding about it,lol. Thanks again :-) |
