Hi all,

i'm an irrlicht newbies and i have a question.
What is the best way to manage a terrain (a map)?

Someone know more?

core::aabbox3d<f32> boxbullet = bullet->getTransformedBoundingBox();

etc. etc.
}


i've tried a similar code, and it work fine.

Thank you ...

Thank you, i think you are right, but my problem is how-to detect:

n00b wrote:if the bounding box of the bullet intersects with the bounding box of the player

Tnx Tony
