Arekus Registered 07/04/2008 Points 21	18th April, 2008 at 20:34:07 - Honestly, an example of both would be great, but the enemy that I originally had in mind flies. To be honest, it is a giant bee. n/a

You can make an ivisible detector like a big circle which is positioned always at the enemies X,Y coordinate, and if the player is overlapping the detector make the enemy "always look in direction of player, start movement" (assuming the enemy is using bouncing ball movement). If it will be based on where the player is facing, rather than a range detection... you would have to do something like: (psudeo code) -Enemy X is greater than Player X and Player is direction "left" then -enemy look at player, start movement -Enemy X is less than Player X and Player is direction "right" then -enemy lok at player, start movement something along those lines. Forgive me if I am not making perfect sense... I'm a little tired after a long day What's wrong with pillow shading? O.o

I've used something very similar and it's a big improvement over enemies that mindlessly chase you until the end of time. Here it is now: http://www.create-games.com/article.asp?id=1620 Not to be a Deadmandines fanboy, but basically anything Dines writes is God and should be extremely helpful for almost anything you need game-wise. -- "Del Duio has received 0 trophies.
