Use a software to build levels. Like Cartography shop or 3D world studio : http://cartographyshop.thegamecreators.com/

Use a for next loop to load the enemys and maybe also for checking their AI.

I don't think that you're ready to make an fps game. Start a simple place You could go to the newcomers corner board. There you will find the perfect tutorial for you. A beginners guide on how to make an fps game.
Here's the link for it:

Hope that helps

monster hunt will be very good for you. after u finish that, youll know how fps games work, then use the .x collision demo as a base and make your levels ina .x format and build ur game off the colllision demo. this can take anywhere from 10 days to months..... so dont give up. good luck.

You would use an array here like this:
Enemy(enemy #,2)

Enemy(enemy#,1) would be the enemies x-coordinate and the other would be the y-coordinate. You can also add other things like if the enemy is attacking etc.

The elements of an array are always integers - never floats, so you shouldn't use the # float identifier.

Also, you shouldn't use the same variable name for a float and an integer. DB may accept it, but you are asking for trouble further down the line.

It should read something like:

EnemyData(EnemyNum,1)

when not in programming I believe it means number
instead of writing:
Enemy Number 1
you can instead write...
Enemy # 1

so as long as the compiler doesn't read that - no problemo, we know what it means and saves all of about 2 seconds writing (or typing)

for the compiler - just give it a bit of algebra like TDK did...

...maybe one day I'll finish a project
