Does anyone know what would be the easiest way to test whether an npc can
see a pc in 3d? I'm making a flight-sim TYPE game (not a flightsim
though), and I'm wondering, given the position and direction vector of
all active objects in the world, can I determine which can see each
other? Better yet, is there a way to do this QUICKLY?? Thanks all!
