Hi, just wondering if there is a way to prevent something from spawning if it is in line of sight with the player.

I have an enemy that respawns but I don't want it to respawn if the player it there.

Maybe I can have it destroy itself when it spawns if it is in sight of the player. Can I do that without the player seeing it happen?

Help me.... I'm new!

put this into the enemy's script after everything else

:activated=1:etimerstart
:etimergreater=100,inview=1:activated=0,destroy
:etimergreater=100,inview=0:activated=0

untested, it should, once activated start a timer that will destroy the entity in the blink of an eye. If that's not fast enough, removing all the timer related stuff should make it instant. Also timers never work for me so I wouldn't use them anyway

I appear to have burst into flames...

I'm already using a timer in my game. Can I have more than one?

fpsc is using 2 commands for that:

timerstart / timergreater=X is a global variable wich you can only use once a time.

etimerstart / etimergreater=X is a specific variable used for a specific entity. you can run it once PER ENTITY, so "endless" timers possible in a map when using this. "e" for entity.
