I'm totally new to this - bought Blitz3d just a few days ago.
I ran into this problem on the first day. I'd created a landscape, usin FLE, and was writing a program to move through it but my character/vehicle wouldn't stay on the ground when it reached the crest of a hill.
I figured that if the character/object wasn't colliding with anything else then it must be in mid-air so, when that was true, I moved it downwards until it collided with the ground.
I don't know if that's the best way to do it but it worked a treat. I'd be grateful for any advice on better methods.
How, for instance, do I alter the pitch, yaw and roll to give realistic effects when a vehicle is moving over the ground and how do I set up a camera to follow it?
Totally amazed at first results with Blitz3d and FLE and can't wait to learn more. Incidentally, I'm a 58-year-old newbie and I got into this with the intention of programming some amusements for my grandchildren. I had intended to populate a wee computer world with family members and things that they would recognise - favourite cartoon characters, etc. Now, after my first taste of B3D, I can't wait to learn more. I'm hooked!
