    <p>I'm making a game for my final project in an XNA class I'm taking, it's going to be a FPS. In order to generate enemies, I figured that I could write a class that imports a model and defines the random size and placement of the "Enemy", as well as his movements and actions. I would then call that class from my Game.cs file. However, I'm having some difficulty with this.</p> <p>My main issue is that I'm not sure where/how to call the Enemy (which is a snowman) in the Game file. </p> <p>Here's what I have for the Snowmen.cs (enemy) class</p> <pre><code>public class Snowmen : Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game { private Camera cam = new Camera(); Model snowMan; Matrix[] snowManMatrix; protected override void LoadContent() { snowMan = Content.Load&lt;Model&gt;( "Models\\snowman" ); snowManMatrix = new Matrix[ snowMan.Bones.Count ]; snowMan.CopyAbsoluteBoneTransformsTo( snowManMatrix ); } public void DrawSnowMan(Model model, GameTime gameTime) { foreach (ModelMesh mesh in model.Meshes) { Matrix world, scale, translation; scale = Matrix.CreateScale(0.02f, 0.02f, 0.02f); translation = Matrix.CreateScale(0.0f, 0.7f, -4.0f); world = scale * translation; foreach (BasicEffect effect in mesh.Effects) { effect.World = snowManMatrix[mesh.ParentBone.Index] * world; effect.View = cam.viewMatrix; effect.Projection = cam.projectionMatrix; effect.EnableDefaultLighting(); } mesh.Draw(); } } protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime) { DrawSnowMan( snowMan, gameTime ); base.Draw(gameTime); } } </code></pre> <p>As of right now, My <em>Game1.cs</em> file is a functional skybox and also contains <code>LoadContent()</code> and <code>Draw()</code> methods. Is the enemy class completely unnecessary?</p>

    1. COWhy are you inheriting from Game and not GameObject ?

    2. COHow many snowmen does an object of your class represent? 1? Then it should be `Snowman`, singular.

    3. CO@asawyer I'm just kind of new to this and didn't realize the difference. If I inherit to GameObject, I get errors stating that 'Content' does not exist in the current context. I also get 'object' does not contain a definition for 'Draw'. I see where GameObject makes more sense, but how would I then implement?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
