I have noticed at some games enemies stuck on the walls and i decided to make some kind of example how to fix this bug.
a good way how to make following enemy or a friend is to use ball movement so that works and then you go around a corner and your friend or foe gets stuck on corner and tries to get trough a wall solution for this is to make some boxes that chance direction of the follower i cant explain this well so i just made a turorial take it from there:

I hope this helps people

The best tutorial thingy i saw on this kind of problem was that ergh, umm, one with only 4 lines of code... (damn ass windows ME mysteriously deleted my profile so i dont have the name of it). But it was really good. IT was also very smart and i never could get the computer confused or stuck or anything.

It kind of just works the same as setting dir to player. Very buggy. Sorry.

...this is not a good way to do this so maybe i will make an example that tries to find a path to the goal.

Pixel perfect pathfinding in klik products is ultimately impossible.

it works better if you make longer blocks

it works better if you make longer blocks and setting dir to player just makes enemies just bounce to walls :/

Pixel perfect pathfinding in klik products is not ultimately impossible, as mmf has the same math support as any other programming language, and there are a few pathfinding extensions.

Lew, it's possible to create a 70*70 pathfinding grid, with the pathfinding object naturally, but why'd you want such a small grid? You can't do it bigger or it'll turn slow, or crash.
You probably want to understand what pixel perfect is.
