types help

heres my problem, i've got a type

TYPE PushableItem
FIELD model, name$
FIELD weight, CollType, BeingPushed
END TYPE

now what im trying to do is check if one mesh of the type is intersecting with another mesh of the same type.

I've tried a few functions but all end up the same, some boxes go through each other and some dont, seems a bit hit and miss.
heres function i tried among others, this one is giving the best results yet once every so often if misses..

Function MovingPushableItemToPushableItemCollision()



For p.PushableItem = Each PushableItem


If p\BeingPushed = 1

MeshA = p\model

EndIf



For a.PushableItem = Each PushableItem

If a\BeingPushed = 0

MeshB = a\model

EndIf



If MeshA <>0 And MeshB<>0
If MeshesIntersect(MeshA,MeshB)

TranslateEntity MeshA,(char\move)*(collsnx),0,(char\move)*(collsnz)
TranslateEntity char\PlayerPivot,(char\move)*(collsnx),0,(char\move)*(collsnz)

EndIf
EndIf



Next


Next



End Function

Well, if you were pushing two meshes at the same time, your code wouldn't work.

If you took out these lines:

If a\BeingPushed = 0
Endif

but left this one:

MeshB = a\model

Then it might work.

Looking back now, I see that you were probably checking for BeingPushed = 0 so that you weren't checking the same mesh against itself. You can prevent that by comparing the mesh handle instead of what you were comparing.
New code:

For a.PushableItem = Each PushableItem 
  MeshB = a\model
  If MeshA <> MeshB
    If MeshA <>0 And MeshB<>0 
      If MeshesIntersect(MeshA,MeshB) 
        TranslateEntity MeshA,(char\move)*(collsnx),0,(char\move)*(collsnz) 
        TranslateEntity char\PlayerPivot,(char\move)*(collsnx),0,(char\move)*(collsnz) 
      EndIf 
    EndIf 
  Endif
Next

Hope that helps.

thanks for the help, the code that i posted actually works, i was trying the wrong function and posted the right one :)

i check yours out to though to see if it works.
