how do i check if anouther object is to the left, right, infront or behined
the player object

Well, here's a little example.

Code:

---

entity* ent1;
entity* ent2;
var offset[3];

DEFINE youPos, skill10;
DEFINE oFront, 1;
DEFINE oBack, 2;
DEFINE oLeft, 3;
DEFINE oRight, 4;

Action Object1
{
    ent1 = my;
    while(1)
    {
        // get the offset
        vec_diff(offset, ent2, ent1);
        // normalize the offset relative to me
        vec_set(temp, my.pan);
        vec_inverse(temp);
        vec_rotate(offset, temp);
        //
        if (abs(offset.x) >= abs(offset.y))
        {
            if (offset.x > 0)
            {my.youPos = oFront;}
            else
            {my.youPos = oBack;}
        }
        else
        {
            if (offset.y > 0)
            {my.youPos = oRight;}
            else
            {my.youPos = oLeft;}
        }
    }
}

Action Object2
{
   ent2 = my;
}

Object1's skill10 (.youPos) will be set to a flag (oFront, oLeft, ...) if Object2 is (in front, left, ...).
