Ok. Thanks. Will try. Maybe I mixed it up as I DLed it from github.

As noted by a few people, there is a rather stupid (on my part) issue with RAPCollide (or in Raptor, the RAPTOR_GPU_COLLISION function).

 

The issue:

• Anywhere else objects are referenced by their object ID for any object, in any list, starting at 0 in the first list to 'x' in the final list.
• For collide, the object ID resets to 0 for each new list

This will be changed in the next release of RAPTOR so that objects for collide do not reset to 0 for each new list.

 

The easy fix:

• Have something like LIST2START=LastObjectInList1+1
• In the rapcollide call you can then do (ObjectID-LIST2START) for the parameters
• Once I make the change, you can then set LIST2START=0

Why didn't I notice this? Because I usually start with a game and add everything else around it (Menus, etc) - so all the colide functions are on the first list.
