[Rel@x]

some code from my bot just goes round and round and shoot when it sees some1 in line of fire

void SampleBot::Update()
{
	// Update cycle entry point. Your AI code goes here.
   g_pCore->Taunt("lalala1");
   g_pCore->SetSpeed(	SET_HIGH_SPEED);
 //  g_pCore->SelectWeapon(WEAPON_GRENADE);
   if (inLineOfFire()) g_pCore->Fire();
   if (mode == 0) g_pCore->TurnLeft(TURN_SLOW);
}

bool SampleBot::inLineOfFire()
{
	int nrObs=0;
	nrObs = g_pCore->GetNumObjectsInSight();
	int type=0;
	float direction=0;
	float distance = 0;
	float objdir = 0;
  for (int a =0; a < nrObs; a++)
  {
	g_pCore->GetObjectsInSight(a,type,direction,distance,objdir);
   if (type == OBJ_ENEMY)	if ((direction < 2) && (direction > -2)) { mode = 1;  return true; }
  }
   mode = 0;
		return false;
}

[GURKBURKEN]

If anyone can tell me how to compile it into a dll-file using VS.NET c++ then ill give it a go

(I dont dare ask in their forum cos theyll laugh at me for ages)
