I want the monster to wait around until it "sees" you, then it starts to move forward. Does anyone know what I can do for vision? I tried having it shoot out invisible balls that start its movement but I had too many problems with it. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. Rtsgamer706

I finished the workshops a year ago, they taught me nothing even remotely relating to this. I'm sorry for getting irritated, but it's a personal pet-peeve when I ask for help and get "do the tutorials again" as a suggestion. Rtsgamer706

If you don't know how to do this youself, take a look at workshops first (AUM workshops as well). Looking for free stuff??

Code: int see_player(var view_angle,var view_range ) { VECTOR temp; vec_set(temp,me.x); if ((c_scan(temp.x, my.pan, vector(view_angle, 0, view_range), IGNORE_ME \| SCAN_FLAG2) > 0) && (you == player)) { if (c_trace(my.x, player.x, IGNORE_ME \| IGNORE_PASSABLE) > 0) { return 1; } } else { return 0; } } if you just wanna enm see "player" only , you can just use c_trace combine some.. vec_XXX functions. it will let game run a bit faster than combine c_trace & c_scan Last edited by tzw; 06/15/11 14:14.
