lol, how embarassing. Oh well, I guess if you don't know it's worth asking..
I have my badguy, Skeleton. He's going to run amuck on the ground, and will look in the direction of the player. I basically want him to stay on the ground, and he'll stay put until his detector is overlapped by the player. How do I go about this feat?

Hmmm what kind of game are you making here?
I can't be sure what the problem is. And how does this detector work?

maybe that was confusingly written. This is a platform game. The Skeleton is supposed to stay put on the ground, just standing in place. He has a invisible circle that acts a detector, and once the playuer overlaps it, he chases him. The things is, I don't want to skeleton to be able to bounce aROUND, like with ball movemtn, I want himto stay on the ground.

Scrap the collider.
radius = 200
X pos of skeleton < Player+radius
+X pos of skeleton > Player
-- add -1 to xpos of skelly
X pos of skeleton < Player
+X pos of skeleton > Player-radius
-- add 1 to xpos of skelly
Now if you want you can add a collider to the bottom of the skelly, and use that to raise/lower Y as he moves over hills.

Ummm... may I ask what the radius is and how do you set it... or is it just a invisable circle thingy...? Thankxs

Yes, and that number directly changes the zone the monster will walk toward you in.
If I wanted I could have just wrote 200 out twice...but it seemed more descriptive that way.

I take it your skeleton has bouncy ball movement to move around...basically what you need is gravity of some sort if you want him to stay on the ground.
So i'll just do a few events you could use...with your invisible circle method detection method.
BASIC GRAVITY EVENTS
- Skeleton is overlapping background
Set Y of Skeleton to Y("Skeleton") - 8 doesn't have to be 8
- NEGATE Skeleton is overlapping background
Set Y of Skeleton to Y("Skeleton") + 8has to be the same number as the event above
EVENTS FOR DETECTION CIRCLE(S)...you probably have these events anyway though, but i'm bored
- Always
Set position of Detection Circle to 0,0 of Skeleton
Make Detection Circle Invisible
- Number of Detection Circles is greater than Skeleton
Destroy Detection Circle
- Number of Detection Circles is less than Skeleton
Create Detection Circle at -32, -32or somewhere offscreen
- Detection Circle is overlapping Skeleton
+ Detection Circle is overlapping Player
Skeleton look in direction of 0,0 Player or alternatively use the Direction Calculator to rotate the Skeleton towards Player for more 'realistic' chasing'
And that's pretty much it...should work, although the invisible detector method isn't the best method I reckon... I could always make an example if needed
Peace out and Rawk awn! \m/ MASTER! hehe
