well...not really stealth...i have an idea, when your a spy and you have a usual 'adventure' game style gameplay, and the other is a style which mimics 'the classroom' if anyone has ever played it.

i would like to know how to tell the engine when the characters get 'seen' by the enemy?

what i mean is i want a triangular area in front of the enemy and when the player walks into it, they get caught.


any help appreciated,
an example would make me as happy as a soldier when he recieves his funny hat.

i want everything to stop before the player types in a name... heres what i have in room 1 script.

{
  gGui1.Visible = true;
  Display("BUMTOWN: THE BUMS UNITE!.");
  Display("SCRIPTS, SPRITES, AND EVERYTHING BUT THE VOICES, BY PAUL MCGOVERN.");
Display("So you have been kicked out of your flat because of lack of money.");
cjohnny.Say("well...yeah, but only because Cash wouldn't give me my money.");
Display("well prehaps he would have payed you if you weren't so gangsta, hm?");
cjohnny.Say("I wouldn't have got any money off him if i wasn't so 'gangsta'.");
Display("THAT IS IRRELIVANT.");
Display("go, go and collect your money, and meet your fortune.");
}

and in globalscript.

{
if (TextBox1.Text == "") {
  Display("But how do you expect to get a Bumtown citizenship if you do not have a name!?");
  return;
}
playername = TextBox1.Text;
gGui1.Visible = false;
}
any help appreciated
