for object in camera view:
Return Integer=OBJECT IN SCREEN(Object Number)
and for the range: (say object to hide is object number 5)
Hide object 5
If object position x(5)=<camera position x(0)+10 and object position x(5)=>camera position x(0)-10
If object position y(5)=<camera position y(0)+10 and object position y(5)=>camera position y(0)-10
If object position z(5)=<camera position z(0)+10 and object position z(5)=>camera position z(0)-10
show object 5
Endif
Endif
Endif
this codes basic, and im still making more and more simpler versions as time goes by, basically set the +10 and -10 to the range you want your other characters to disappear, place all the code involving its movement within this large if statement, and the object will only be active within a boxed area around the camera, and add the camera view so they only show in cameras vision too.... uber FPS boost if put together right
:p
