detecting hits

[phototrix]

I'm new at gamedev so this is a newbie question.

In a FPS, an enemy fires a weapon at the player and the player is hit. How is this detected? Is this through collision detection? I want to add a specific sound when the shot hits the player v/s when it misses.

Thanks in advance.

If you wait about 10 hours hours then the online documenation will be updated with a tutorial which (among other things) explains just this. Basically you have to use the iSector->HitBeam().

Has the online tutorial been updated? Where? I can't seem to find it.

Go to the CS site, click on 'Documentation' and then go to the 'Bleeding Edge and Pseudo-Stable' section there and click on 'User Manual: view online'.
