AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, My game is a GTA 2 type game. Two X file models are loaded, a car model and city model. I want to check if the car model hits the city model. The game is in DirectX8 and Visual c++. I don''t care what type of collision detection method is used as long as it works and is accurate enough.

And yes I will put you in the credits with bold letters if you can write me some code.

goto the following site for some more info -

If you don't understand the techniques, and are not willing to take the time to learn them then you don't deserve to be writing a game. Nobody said it'd be easy or that you'd be done in a couple of months; this stuff take time.

I was about to advise you to head over to the Math and Physics forum, but with your temperament you wont learn anything - they do pretty high-level stuff most of the time. So...

Go buy a book like Tricks of the Game Programming Gurus and read it . Such books explain the principles and concepts behind this stuff, and also provide some example code. G'ahead, go learn.

Edit: formatting.

I don''t want ways I can do collision detection, I want code, and not packages like ColDet.

So, you want code written for you but you''re not willing to use prewritten open source libraries like ColDet?

Hmmmm. Perhaps you should do a bit more research on your options.

Decent enough chunk of code. You probably want to check your email- I didn''t want to spam the forum with my response (I got a little windy)



And guys... I think he has quite a few of the basics down... his collision detection does work- just not very well.

Getting other people to write code for you will get you one thing: nothing.

If I went up to my boss and said "I don''t understand how this paticular thing works, so you better get someone to do it for me," he would probably laugh in my face.

When you have a problem that you just can''t beat, that''s when you turn up the heat and make it happen. (BTW: this is also the best part of coding IMO. There''s nothing like finally nailing a problem you''ve been stressing over.)

What you need: a book or your notes on linear algebra, geometry, & trig; 1 pad of graph paper; a pen or pencil; and a pledge to yourself that you''re going to make it work no matter what happens. If you have these, your code will be up & running before you know it.

Ok, I since your all telling me to do it myself. I will. But I have one direct x question. If I have two meshes. Each being rotated and translated using different matrix. Will their coordinates be defined from the matrices combined or from just from its own matrix.

I still have one of the first directx programs I ever wrote, and it has collision detecion. Do you want the source?
