Collision Detection On Bounded Object

I have a character of .dts type with a bounding box. I would like to echo a message when onCollision with a player or avatar on a game we are currently developing. At this point I cannot detect any collision even when the player or avatar run to the character.

I did not create the DTS myself. How do I create a collision box for it? Is the naming of the box as Col1 or Col01 important or I can just give it any name?

Is your onCollision function written correctly? (ie; if the object is of type 'player' or named 'player' or has a superclass of 'player', itd be: function player::onCollision(...))
