collisions within a type?

Is it possible to have an entity located within a type ( such as the main environment?) What is boggling me is that the code using types doesnt allow my player to move yet the non-type world environment works fine. Player movement is ok with this code:

;world
			world = LoadMesh ("level1\world_stonehenge.b3d")
			If world <> 0
				ScaleEntity    world,1,1,1
				PositionEntity world,0,0,0
				RotateEntity   world,0,0,0
                                EntityType  world ,TYPE_WORLD

			Else
				RuntimeError "Could not load world!"
			End If 

And this code DOES NOT work... What is happening is the player is getting stuck in the center of the world. My movement controls will not work when I change the variable world to a type.

			;world
			world.world = New world
			world\ent   = LoadMesh ("level1\world_stonehenge.b3d")
			If world\ent<> 0
				ScaleEntity    world\ent,1,1,1
				PositionEntity world\ent,0,0,0
				RotateEntity   world\ent,0,0,0
				EntityType     world\ent, TYPE_WORLD 
			Else
				RuntimeError "Could not load world!"
			End If
