Hey!

This morning I was trying to get my enemies doing a patrol while still allowing me to do raycasting from DarkPhysics to find out if I'd shot them or not.

The problem I found that if I asked Dark AI to move the enemies my collision box from DarkPhysics didn't follow. I've managed to get both working in harmony so I thought I'd attach some example code in the hope that if someone else is having problems they can get over it quickly.

As ever there might be an easier way of doing this but that is the joy of programming

hi

I just found your post

at first all I saw was a blank screen

so I stopped it

ran the compiled exe
then decided to use the arrow keys

they do follow each other

I noticed one of them dos stops being the leader anther one
takes over and they follow that one

it's a got a lot of promise

I'm going to add more units and see what happens ;o)
