Okay, I am working on my game academy assignment, and for it I am supposed to make the hero "escape" from some where.
I have an area where guards are patrolling, and I am useing this script to make them have a cone of vision.
The problem that I have is that if the hero is hiding behind, say some boxes, the guard can still see the hero through the boxes and get him.
I would like this script to work in a way that the guard event can not see through tiles that are set to impassable in the database.
Or maybe, they can not see through a event with a comment in the beginning or something...
Please, someone help me with this!
The game is due Friday, and I need to get everything worked out!
Thanks!
