Okay, what I wanted to do was make Metal Gear Solid style game (more like a level and expand from there) based off of [The Classroom.](http://www.stickpage.com/theclassroomplay.shtml)

I’ve got the movements, obstacles and all that down but I was wondering how the field of vision was done.

I imagine this is a cone in front of the enemy with a hit test on the main character. Could someone confirm or if I’m wrong what would be the best way to make it.

I was also wondering how the “safe spots” would be done and if the enemies movement is just looped tweens (I’m mostly looking at level 2) or not.

Thankyou.

i think the field of vision would have been done like this:  
1st. produce your character!  
2nd. get the distance from the Teacher character to the Pupil character.  
3rd. if this distance is less than a certain number, test for:  
4th. the angle of the pupil from the teacher being within a certain range
