Terrain and Heightmaps - 3D Collisions in GameMaker
When it comes to terrain, you can treat it like any other triangle mesh - or you can take a few shortcuts!
3D collisions in native GML are one of the more commonly requested tutorial subjects I get. This is a big subject and will require a long time to cover properly, but they can be done - no external DLLs required!
As always, you can find the GML code on my tutorial Github:

Each week is its own release tag:
