how do i make enemies chase me to attak me?

There's a cool script Mak gave me once. In create actor (or what ever event you want) of the ennemey open sript editor and write:

Code: Select all

angle = direction(x, y, yourhero .x, yourhero .y);
directional_velocity = 10;

replace "yourhero" by the actor's name of your hero. replace the 10 after velocity if you want the ennemy to be faster or slower.

But this is only ONE way. I don't know if it suits your need. Just wanted to share this real cool script.

it worked!awesome thanx man

nm it did not work.the guy just kept on going in a diaganol line and never stopped

he went in watever direction i was when i started the game but he did not turn around to attack me.

You must put that code to draw actor instead of create actor.

oh ok thanx.oh and thanx for the code too.

I'm a lady!

i always say man.even to a lady but thanx girl.

I used that code and i have 2 question. How to get enemies to attack the main character. 2. How to make multiple attacks kill actors.

I've tried many ways but whenever i click to continue in the script editor. it give me an ex. Expected error ) or a Expected error ; on line 2 .

don't know that one.knowone would tell me.lol

hmm, im no pro but I had an idea. Make a draw actor event, which is the weapon. Make a collison with the draw actor event, and a script, this isnt right... I know it isnt, top of my head stuff but anyway... Its not even in script that would just bring ebarrsement on me

something like the variable of the characters health minus the a random damage number between a certain 2 numbers, like 15-28, 1-6. (Oh and just asking, is the random function "rand." like on a calculator).
make an event that checks the actors health, and when the health variable reaches 0, make a destroy actor event.

I think you shouldn't try that. Im gods dissaster at making code...

this thread helped me alot!

cool.

In my topdown space shooter, similar to "Galaga" the moveto function was needed. Not angle and direction.

Code: Select all

MoveTo("Event Actor", ship.x, ship.y, 1.000000, "Creator Actor");
