How do I make a character stop when it hits the terrain?

In the attached file I try to design an interactive animation where the character is a fish. All around the fish is a terrain. In Blender Game when pressing P the fish swimms (shakes tail etc) but no motion. When pressing F the fish goes ahead (motion). When pressing left arrow, it goes to the left and reversed (right arrow = going to the right).

Now the problem is that whenever I keep on pressing F the fish continues swimming forward and disappears inside the terrain just as if the terrain was not existing.

How do I make the fish stop when it hits the terrain?

You have to set different physics types to the objects. Have a look at the video here below, it shows you how to set it up properly.

physics. since i think we are all sick of answering this question, ill just give you the fixed blend. the controls are going to need work, but the collision and setup is proper.

I would use a radar and connect to a state actuator.And set it to state 2.Then put a property on the terrain.Make it a actor.Put the property in the radar sensor.

why don’t you use distance constraint.And i dynamic cube around the fish.And just animate the fish in place.
