I'm making a remake of Ballistix, an old game by Psygnosis.
You control a pointer that shoots ammo towards a ball. The purpose is to score a goal against a slightly tilted game board.
Here's the file

Here's the AI for the enemy arrow that I created:

it's not much, and like the good people at ClickTeam Central said, I'm going to have to use some sort of finite state machine AI as well..
But I'm still proud 
any thoughts/creative ideas?

ok I need help!
Assuming the enemy arrow has
1.a targeting phase
2. a shooting phase
I want my targeting phase to be like this:
A test object ("Scout") that revolves around the ball like a satellite, with a radius of R. This object tests all positions around the ball for perfect linear alignment of: the "Scout", the "Ball" and the "Goalpost". Essentially it attempts to find the perfect line of sight from the Scout to the Goalpost, including the Ball.
I was thinking I could do it with 1-pixel ActiveObjects ("Particle") shot from the Scout towards the Ball. Everytime a "Particle" collides with the Goalpost, the X/Y coordinates of the position where it was shot from, are stored as a desirable position, and the Enemy Arrow attempts to go near it.
Also, the Scout will try other radii around the ball (R plus/minus 100 pixels), effectively testing all (or most) points around the Ball.
Is there any way MMF2 can check all of these points using only math? Is there any other line-of-sight algorithm I can use, without having to rely on shooting particles?
I'd appreciate an example, or a link to an article..

Don't forget to have there be a small chance that your entire team goes on the DL, they play like crap and are totally out of the playoff hunt in a 3-4 week span. Why, Red Sox, Why?!!

Counting Christa Neo, I know of 3. I recall there being a 4th one too.

No, you just have to remember that a large portion of our membership is adolescent boys who go crazy at the mere thought of a female clicker.
Plus, we drift off topic alot here. Welcome to it.
Give it a few days and you'll get your answer.
Craps, I'm an old man!

The difference between responses here and at the Clickteam forums is all too evident =/
This won't be much help either - I think you might be able to check for points/areas using the Overlay object, but I really have no idea how to use it.

Man that was an awesome game.
Is there any way MMF2 can check all of these points using only math?
Not any way I can think of off the top of my head. You could cheat though and use a 1px detector that runs through the possible paths via fastloop. A better idea might be to start your checking not from the enemy, but from the ball, finding possible angle of attacks and then predicting where the enemy would have to be to achieve them.
