try aligntovector,xvector,0,zvector,1,align#
with xvecotr/zvector vector being the collision normal for that dir or what other values you may be getting.

COULD YOU TELL ME WHY THIS ISNT WORKING

If EntityCollided(CAR(AC),1) Then
AlignToVector car(ac),CollisionNX(CAR(AC),1),0,CollisionNZ(CAR(AC),1),1,.01
AlignToVector car(ac),CollisionNX(CAR(AC),1),0,CollisionNZ(CAR(AC),1),3,.01
ResetEntity CAR(aC)
EndIf

Hey, here's something i found on my computer

Graphics3D 800,600
SetBuffer BackBuffer()

light=CreateLight()
ground=CreatePlane()

camera=CreateCamera()

box=CreateCube()
PositionEntity box,0,2,0
PositionEntity camera,0,6,-20
RotateEntity ground,0,0,30
EntityType ground,2
EntityType box,1
Collisions 1,2,2,2


While Not KeyHit(1)

If KeyDown(200) Then MoveEntity box,0,0.1,0
If KeyDown(208) Then MoveEntity box,0,-0.1,0
If KeyDown(205) Then MoveEntity box,0.1,0,0
If KeyDown(203) Then MoveEntity box,-0.1,0,0
If KeyDown(2) Then TranslateEntity box,0,0.1,0
If EntityCollided(box,2) Then
	AlignToVector box,CollisionNX(box,1),CollisionNY(box,1),CollisionNZ(box,1),2
	temp=CollisionNZ(box,1)
	col=1
Else
	col=0
End If



UpdateWorld()
RenderWorld()

Text 0,0,"normalx="+temp
Flip
Wend
End

Align a cube to the plane once it collides :)

YEAH, COPY AND PASTE YOUR CODE, IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM.. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WHAT I WAS DOING TO BEGIN WITH.. STRANGE.

thanks!

no, you were using 2 aligntovector commands when you should use only one.
I think you mae the common mistake of thinking you had to alignto both the z and x in the specified vector to align on so thought required 2 aligntovectors.
