Hi everyone,

I got a nice idea for a funny arcade style game. I wanna do it so that there are multiple enemies who kinda follow you around and wanna nag you, you know, they touch you die. Kinda like a lethal michael jackson, but anyway, I'm breaking my head here about a good way to go around this without losing much fps.

I wanna do it so that there are more enemies per level, maximum of 8 to 10 enemies, and I'm thinking it should be something with an array.

Like I said, I don't want the FPS to suffer too much, it needs to be a speedy game. Is there any simple way to go around this?

Thanks in advance.

Basics...

Make your model and clone it for the enemies

Store the enemy details in a multi-dimensional array - number of enemies x number of parameters.

I kinda got that floating around in my head, but haven't done such a thing before. I'm really bad at arrays.

How does this work with the movement for example. Say if I got x#,y#,z# with 3 enemies for example, I can use the same checks with that and recycle this with the enemies right?

I'm getting old hehe, I used to get ideas like this way quicker when I was a kid hehe almost 30.
