Not sure if this is possible in GameGuru, but I am trying to make a character move only when the player can see it. I can seem to get a character to move if it can see the player, but not the other way around? Is this even possible yet with GameGuru Lua (which I am very rusty on)

Yes I have already written that script for someone else but basically you need to use something like my PlayerLooking function (found in my example scripts thread, links are in the first post) although it technically checks the reverse to what you want it will be fine if you remove the distance check from the function and check that separely.

Or if you can wait I will upload the file when I get back home in a few days.
