      Yes rather simple and obvious question.

      I'm interested in making gaming-shorts and lingerie...but thats besides the point (sorry, t'was awefull), I wannah make a short game. For a short game to be succesfull it needs to have maximum amount of interactivity with as little as possible cutscenes and boring reading bits, which means it needs good, to the point gameplay. Which is why I'd like to know, can you make it so that you can lock-on to enemies and so the enmies act as a pivot that your character moves around until you take the lock off?

      Thanks any answer would be muchly appreciated.

      I don't see any immediate way to do this. If you did, it would be SO much work, it wouldn't be worth it. If I had to give you my answer now, I'd say it is impossible, unless you want the character to circle around the enemy until a certain key is pressed or something happens You could do that... hmmmm....

      Thanks, I won't be purchasing it then. Beenox said that you could do futuristic and so forth, but if you want guns and other projectiles you'll need a lock-on system, such a shame.

      Justa second now. You seem to be misunderstanding how CS works. Hitting an enemy with long range weapons is pretty easy. CS is built so that is. If you want it to be hard in the first place, THAT will take work.

      correct me if i'm wrong that is what the targetting/collision cirlces are for.

      The only thing you need to come up with is how to get the player to face the NPC at all times.

      Getting the player to face off and circle isn't a standard feat/feature think about when that system first really got noticed it was state of the art. Every Game from Parasite eve to Soul Reaver bragged about it, if yoou're dead set on it..you might want to try programming in a BASIC with a rotation command.
