In my game I want a flying enemy to follow you around in the air. How could you think I could do that?

The most simple and easiest way I can think of is to simply use Ball Movement and set it so that it Always looks in the direction of the player.
This is very simplistic though, and if you want any more of a complex answer, you're going to need to supply some more information about your game. What kind of engine is it using, what's the gameplay like, how is it following you? Even screenshots of the game would be far more descriptive than what you've provided so far.

Well a really simple way would be to just always set the flying enemy's position in relation to the character's position.
You're going to need to be more specific though if you want pathfinding, AI, directional change, collisions, or ragdoll style repositioning (think of it as an invisible bungie cord attaching the familiar to a spot near the character) and other little things like that thrown in there for the flying enemy to use.

Is that what you mean:

To anybody else: Don't lose your time. It's only two events long.
In the the condition, change the 50 to the distance in pixels you want the object to stop from oyu.
In the actions, play with the 0.03 to change it's speed.
If you want a radius distance instead of a box, replace both conditions by this one:
Sqr(((Abs(X( "Active" )-X( "Active 2" ))) pow 2)+((Abs(Y( "Active" )-Y( "Active 2" ))) pow 2))
>
50

You posted to use a ball movement and always have it look at the player.
I posted to always set it by position in relation to the character
(meaning that it will keep resetting the x and y position of the flying object relative to the character's position)
Are people just deliberately "misunderstanding" me these days or something?
I'm beginning to feel like an average kid who is forced to ride the short bus to school.
Lol .. they put you on this bus too Spitz?! .. you should be in a fancy car, driving to school and headed to your AP classes.
You know I'm just messin' BrandonC, but seriously dude, read before you criticize. Thanks.

.... meaning it's a totally different way of doing it ... you don't need to even set a movement for one thing ... in his you need to set a ball movement ... that's a difference in coding style, but they are similar in the fact that they are both extremely simple methods that need much added to them to look professional.
You're just taunting me aren't you? ... lol, quit it.

Btw, Jon C-B, Thank You for that 3d-ish platform! ... it looks real good and I put it into the code, but there are a few minor visual anomalies that result, nothing too noticeable though. It's an imperfect code anyway, and I like the way your platform looks, so I'm using it. I did have to resize and modify it a little though so as not to have to change positional code, hope you don't mind.
If you want to make some other graphics that you feel would be good for the 2.5d project, your more than welcome to do so .. I'll probably use them, you did a good job, Thanks again!

Wow, I wasn't criticizing you? The real world is going to be a pretty harsh place for you if you truly took offense to my mildly sarcastic post.
