How do you destroy a mesh upon colision?

Like say.. you have your player going around colecting 3D gems.. you would have to have those gems disapear (or be destroyed) as the player mesh colides with them... how do I code this?

Okay.. knowing I had B3D for more then 4 years, this may be concidered a litle emberasing in my asking... but to be honest, I've been too lazy to ask questions like this on the message boards.... So to my fellow B3D users, forgive my ignorance ^_^;;

Do you want to know how the collision detection works (e.g player with bullet) or how to delete the bullet in its whhole?

how to delete

You can simply use the FreeEntity command to permanently delete an entity from the 3D world.

Or you can make it slowly disappear by using EntityAlpha, and once it is completely transparent, then delete it using the FreeEntity command.

Look at the docs and the example about it: http://www.blitzbasic.com/b3ddocs/command.php?name=FreeEntity&ref=goto


Learning is a beautiful experience which never ends. :)

Hope this helps,
Sergio.

Deffo!!

could do
[code]
for i=0 to countcollisions(player)-1 ; (i think)
ref = entitycollided(player, coll_world) ; return what you just hit!
freentity ref
; or
entityalpha ref,0 ; hiding it, but keep the object
