I am making a FPS game and can't get the collision for the enemie's sphere of sight with the player to work. Here is the Enemie's AI(where the collision is)
key:
50=line of sight
1=player
10=enemy
2=player bullet
20=enemy bullet

Am I an Idiot...or is everyone else just really smart?

If your problem is with firing the bullet, there is nowhere in that sub where the bullet is moved... you just position it at the specified location then leave it...

You need to move it (not too sure how to do that)

Hope I Helped...

My problem is that the program doesn't notice the collision between object 50 and object 1.

Can't tell from the source you posted what objects 1 and 50 are doing. However...

1. trying object collision(50,1) sometimes it makes a difference

2. try using INTERSECT OBJECT, your bullet may be going too fast to ever collide (that is, one frame it's in front, next frame it's behind).

I can't remember if DBC has INTERSECT OBJECT.

I don't think it does. I've already tried reversing the numbers. Let me explain what I'm trying to do. I didn't understand the line of sight stuff so I am attaching a huge hidden sphere to the enemy. the sphere works as his line of sight. If you collide with the sphere, the enemy sees you. However, when you hit the sphere, the gosub routine doen't kick in.
