Question Tutorial for collision?

[XSSA]

I want to add collision to somethings that will be a part of addons. I'm looking for the Collision SDk.

Orbiter doesn't have any sort of collision model (except perhaps docking). You would need to come up with your own method of collision detection, and since nobody has come up with a good working method yet there are no tutorials.

Well, if you have some basics in making dll, you can do something rough like "if any vessel come within X meters from another any vessel (except self), then make the 2 vessels vanish". That would be my best guess. The problem is that Orbiter will have to scan constantly for all the vessels in the simulation. No problem when there is 2 or 3 vessels, but troublesome when there are dozens of them (and you quickly get there with space stations made from modules).

Something possible at present:

OGLA and MeshLand2.

Collision SDK was never quite finished, there are several disjointed versions, for NASSP and for Orulex, but no single, coherent version.

Ground-tuned version is there:

Orulex-tuned version is here:

Vessel-vessel Meshland 2 is there:
http://orbides.1gb.ru/orbf.meshland-090123.zip

Meshland 2 can give you some nice collisions, but it wasn't updated in ages and it's SDK is incomplete and sparsely documented (and lost somewhere on OH or OF).

Another (useless) piece in the series with newer vessel-vessel engine is the Asteroids game:

And don't forget that i'm not the only one who tries:
