| Ok, i know this is very simple, but cant get it to work. all I want to do is have a cube move around an area.. when this cube goes up hill or downhill, or on a slope of any kiND i want it to tilt with the slope. I cant sem to get alignentity to work right.. help please sorry for the double post , didnt get many reads in the other topic. |

| You need to use AlignToVector ent,NX#,NY#,NZ#,axis Ent is the entity to rotate. You get nx etc by returning the collision normals. ie. CollisionNX. Axis is 0,1,2 and represents X,Y,Z angle. |

| EDIT : I GO IT. THANKS ROB COULD YOU TELL ME WHY THIS ISNT WORKING If EntityCollided(CAR(AC),1) Then AlignToVector car(ac),CollisionNX(CAR(AC),1),0,CollisionNZ(CAR(AC),1),1,.01 AlignToVector car(ac),CollisionNX(CAR(AC),1),0,CollisionNZ(CAR(AC),1),3,.01 EndIf CAR DOES FINE ON FLATS.. on a slope it wants to turn all the way over 90 degrees, so that its facing straight down.. slope is only about 30-45 degrees, after that it doesnt recover. |

| i hope this will help n=object the 4 sphere i place at the four corners. e.g. frw=front right wheel hope it helps. ;this procedure will align main object to the 4 sphere on the object. zx#=(EntityX( frw[n],True )+EntityX( rrw[n],True ))/2 zx=zx-(EntityX( flw[n],True )+EntityX( rlw[n],True ))/2 zy#=(EntityY( frw[n],True )+EntityY( rrw[n],True ))/2 zy=zy-(EntityY( flw[n],True )+EntityY( rlw[n],True ))/2 zz#=(EntityZ( frw[n],True )+EntityZ( rrw[n],True ))/2 zz=zz-(EntityZ( flw[n],True )+EntityZ( rlw[n],True ))/2 AlignToVector mainobj,zx,zy,zz,1 zx#=(EntityX( flw[n],True )+EntityX( frw[n],True ))/2 zx=zx-(EntityX( rlw[n],True )+EntityX( rrw[n],True ))/2 zy#=(EntityY( flw[n],True )+EntityY( frw[n],True ))/2 zy=zy-(EntityY( rlw[n],True )+EntityY( rrw[n],True ))/2 zz#=(EntityZ( flw[n],True )+EntityZ( frw[n],True ))/2 zz=zz-(EntityZ( rlw[n],True )+EntityZ( rrw[n],True ))/2 AlignToVector mainobj,zx,zy,zz,3 PositionEntity(flw[n],0,0,0);position all wheels to 0,0,0 PositionEntity(frw[n],0,0,0) PositionEntity(rlw[n],0,0,0) PositionEntity(rrw[n],0,0,0) ResetEntity(flw[n]);reset all wheels.& collinsons ResetEntity(frw[n]) ResetEntity(rlw[n]) ResetEntity(rrw[n]) PositionEntity(flw[n],-.8,-1,1);position all the wheels to the four corners . PositionEntity(frw[n],.8,-1,1) PositionEntity(rlw[n],-.8,-1,-1) PositionEntity(rrw[n],.8,-1,-1) |

| There is an example in the code archives from Madjack Vehicle pitch roll without pivot which does this very nicely i think |
