Hi Dark, That's a good question and one I presently do not have an answer for. As I said before I absolutely hate using pitch changes in some cases because it totally changes the way the sound effect sounds ruining the effect I'm aiming for. At the same time pressing m to speak the location of the nearest enemy monster is equally not very good. However, some things might just be common sense. A Skeleton walks on the ground so if you are up on a ledge a little daductive reasoning would mean he is below you on the ground. Harpies fly so they'd be a little more difficult to figure out since they could be above, below, or on the same level as you. As it happens G3D was designed for 3d based games and I've been having troubles with the game mechanics in MOTA. So I'm going to have to disable the look up/down feature etc in beta 18 because I simply can't get it working without rewriting a crap load of stuff in the engine since I didn't write the engine necessarily to do this in 2d games, but only 3d games.
Cheers!
