looks like you clipped off part of an IF statement. Check your code against what I posted and you'll see it

My apologies. I did fix it, but the error remains the same. The game isn't recognizing those two specific identifiers.

both identifiers are created in the IsPlayerLooking function

Code: Select all

    bool isPlayerLooking(int PlayNum)
    {
        if (!players[playnum].mo.CheckSight(self, SF_IGNOREVISIBILITY | SF_SEEPASTSHOOTABLELINES | SF_SEEPASTBLOCKEVERYTHING | SF_IGNOREWATERBOUNDARY)) return false;

        double PlayAng = players[playnum].mo.angle;  // PlayAng is created here
        double AngleToMe = players[playnum].mo.AngleTo(self);
        double AngleDiff = AbsAngle(AngleToMe, PlayAng); // AngleDiff is created here
        double PlayFovRange = players[playnum].fov / 2;

        return AngleDiff < PlayFovRange;
    }
 
so if it's not finding them it's because you changed something

Okay, so I guess maybe somethin' is case or space sensitive. I usually prefer to write a certain way to make it easier for me to read, but I'll keep workin' on it 'til I find the issue. Thank you again for the help.

Yes, I found what I missed. I didn't see the "return false;" you added to the if conditional 'cause the page cut if off. I thought the if conditional you were referrin' to was the one fore it. So it works now, but I have to revise the ACS if/else conditional. But that I can do. Thanks for the help. I think it's goin' to work now.
