when objects collide, is a variable set? How do I get the trigger event w/physics?
Thanks for your help!

I *think* I asked a similar question ages ago and the answer was that you couldn't trigger while under the influence of the PE.

Use a short range scan() to emulate a trigger event. I know this works while using the PE.

Thanks -I might have to try that. Odd though -you'd think it'd be necessary to do this....

That's what I thought too, but the way it was explained to me, by using the PE, you have an independent collision routine, hence negating any player programed collisions (ie triggers)

OK.... but how to I poll for that event? What trigger is created by the PE? Doug ... some help here?!

Is there some form of trigger to signal that objects have collided? I want to add a sound when 2 objects collide using the PE.

Again, by my understanding, there is no way to poll for a collision event using the PE.

YOu have to resort to using trace() functions plus input some knowledge of the bounding boxes and hardcode a "collision check".

Fastlane -thanks. that's exactly what I've done. It's not the optimal way of doingthings, and it seems that there ought to be such a function. I was hoping that someone would have sumbled upon it by now. Never hurts to ask.. (again!)
