3D Shockwave Collision

[Dolbarian]

Hi guys,

I have a small problem, i need to add collision to some road barriers in a
driving game i am making, but i have looked on the net for some tutorials or
info about it, and i can't find anything!

I'm finding it pretty difficult as i may need to use x,y AND z axis for the
collision, so does anyone know of any good sources for some 3D collision
detection methods or ideas on what lingo i could use for my game?

thanks in advance

Sam

Try the old and classic tutorials serie about game creation using Director:

collision detection is something that is really often dicussed, you find a lot
of information on this topic if you search this forum:

there are different ways you can go:
1. modelsunderray
2. collision modifier
3. havok
4. imaging lingo (2D collision detection based on the color values of a image)

the last method is not used very often, but here is an example that shows it
in action:

green "Start" link to start the game)
