See if what's there helps you. I haven't had a chance to try them yet.

Making an enemy move can be done using a path. Create several of these and use the 'path finish' events. to make the actor follow a new path and change animation is possible.

The best thing to do, to make something move side to side is to create 2 paths, put a higher integer in 'frame' to make the path longer, and make the actor move swifter. Try to syncronise with the actors animation.

Then click actor control, add event>path finish>change path> path 1 to path 2.
then do add event>path finish 'path 1'>change path>path 2 to path 1.

if you want the animation to change do this:

add event>path finish 'path 1'>change animation 'left.bmp'
and the same for righ or up or down animation. but it will require more paths for that...

Ill let you experiment, ill upload this there image to show key parts.

i did that but my enemey didnt move when i clicked game mode he just stood ther

[duracel92]

did you assign 1 path too the actor?

[Zehper48]

yes

[duracel92]

So if I say correctly, i said:

1. Make 2 paths.
2. on actor control make a new event; path finish (path 1)>change path (path 2)
3. make another event; path finish (path 2)>change path (path 1)
4. assign path 1 or 2 to the actor...

I don't really see the problem in this... I will try what I have said...

[duracel92]

Hmm... what I said definately works for me.... Make sure you haven't clicked random path... W00T 100th post - sorry... It might be a bug, but I'm not sure....

[duracel92]

Another thought is that you might want to put it into the activation region (little or big yellow box) that the player actor is in, so it definately should load.

[duracel92]

Absolutely no idea... I got 250 fps when I tested it though

Thank you sooooooo much it worked. i like it when people explain it step by step thank you.
