well...
i took care of problem number 1...

Hi, I am developing an FPS game. I have almost everything done... except the most important thing: AI! I need help with two things: 1. How to make an enemy shoot me when I come near him 2. How to make the enemy keep facing towards me until I kill him. I also need some help with timing. For example.....

actually... i was talking about the buttons which irrlicht gives to you... the GUI environment buttons...

hi
could someone please give me some code on how to make a transparent button?

thanks,

i've got another function which is almost the same except that it does not get the camera position every frame, but it get the camera position every time i press space...

OK, here's why I think the term "scope" is confusing here: it refers to which functions have access to which variable, not to whether a variable has valid contents. Say you have 3 variables, all named SomeVar: char *SomeVar; void func1() { int SomeVar; ... } void func2() { float SomeVar; ...

declare the class inside the main function

I don't find the term scope confusing, I imagine most other programmers don't either, if someone wants it explaining I will tell them, but it should be something as a programmer knows. No disrespect... Its a good point that enemyNode might not be initialised, must have had my eyes closed!!! Store i...

How about........putting it in the main loop? It loops through successive frames.

while(device->run()) {
BeginScene etc.
...
EndScene etc.
--> xyz = camera->GetAbsolutePosition etc.
}

cant it be used in another function too?

hi
can anyone give me some code on how to get the camera's position every frame . . . . i know the getAbsolutePosition function . . . but I need to know how to do it every frame...

thanks

this is easier:
could someone please give me a piece of code where it will store the current . . . . . . X value of the camera? (every frame)

thanks,

hi . . . . i have a piece of code which, after you pass a certain point, executes . . . . but it doesnt execute and the whole program crashes...

there's nothing similar to your animationframe < blabla . . . .
