@Brett14: Hi, im working on a zombies game atm and there is a slight problem to do with lag, basically the zombies have alot of collision checking to do however this makes the game lag, the example used the split feature however when i tried that on my map it didnt work... I read the scripts and it told me that the origin had to be 0,0,0 but either i just fell through the floor or the game stopped working, i also tried making all the values in the model positive but that still didnt work and the game just froze straight off :/
Please can you help me with this because without these faster collisions, this project is gonna have to go down the toilet :/!

OK.After 3 painful(for my fingers...)days(and nights...) I managed to make my map models work with P3DC!
If anyone ever(It doesn't count if I'm dead) need help with this you can ask me.

Hey Michael, I had the same problem with maps created with model creator in my own game. There is an option in MC to add extra data to the model file, and this dll doesn't skip over that. What you have to do is remove the extra data from the model file once you are completely finished with it using a text editor. You need to remove the rest of the line after the first number on the second line.

I know, i knew about that before when i Made GA, its just there was a different error that i had with Splits which is gone now.

I Just wanted to say, thanks to this Dll, i managed to get 3D Motion planning working :D! It will all be revealed in my next game hehe!
Thanks alot Brett!

Hi!
I searched through the topic and did not find anyone asking about this:
Is it possible to load .obj files with another script, and use them as a collision model in P3DC?

[brett14]

Yes, but you'll have to create the script yourself. If you do, please make it open-source and I'll implement it into the next version of P3DC.

Just pre-convert them, and load them as a normal .mod model.

I got a basic collision with the floor to work.
But now i'm trying to figure out how to make collision on objects.
Could you please tell me how i do that?

In the examples there all handled in one object.

you should add all the masks to one global mask.
Or in the end/step even, run a loop through every object, changing the mask to collide with to that objects mask.

Sorry, i forgot to tell you an important detail..
There are over 67206 fence pieces and i use deactivation behind fog.
But the first suggestion sounds good!
Could you tell me how should i do that in a clever way?

Same way you add a primitive to a non global mask. Just add a global variable.

You might want to look into using the split methods, if you're going to have that many objects.

Haha, no! Not that many objects drawed at once.
Depending on were the player is the average object count is 127.
The scene has to look good but the object and poly count has to be as low as possible.

Before i decided to use this dll the game used one object for all collisions and sprites were the masks.. but i have no idea how i can get this to work.
Thanks anyway.
I will look for a solution.

hate to be annoying but this is my first time using ray casting and things aren't quite working out. if anyone can find something wrong in this snippet,particularly my use of the p3dc_ray function, could they be dear and point it out for me?

xx=x+lengthdir_x(lengthdir_x(40,zdir),dir)
yy=y+lengthdir_y(lengthdir_x(40,zdir),dir)
zz=z+lengthdir_x(40,zdir+90)

dist=p3dc_ray(global.ground_col,0,0,0,x,y,z,xx-x,yy-y,zz-z);
if(dist>5){dist=5}

x+=lengthdir_x(lengthdir_x(dist,zdir),dir)
y+=lengthdir_y(lengthdir_x(dist,zdir),dir)
z+=lengthdir_x(dist,zdir+90)

<snip>

if dist<5
    {
    instance_destroy()
    var;
    smoke=instance_create(x,y,obj_smoke)
    smoke.z=z
    }

it detects a collision and destroys itself long before it should

@lostdarkwolf - As Glance suggested, open up your model file and make sure the second line is only a number, and that there is nothing else after it.
