Ok man. I need help. Im trying to make a game where the enemy follows the player. but only on the x-axis. like when my player jumps, the enemy starts to float toward them. i want to make it where it only follows you on an x-axis. so if im in the air, the enemy will be below me, trying to get to me but not able to go up. Get what im sayin? Can you tell me how?

Is this what you mean?

Ok, on the enemy, set a script saying

When Green Flag Clicked
Forever:
Set X To (Xposition0 of (player)

Try this

forever{
if (targetX>xposition){
change x by 10}
else{
change x by -10
}
}

what does it mean by "target"?

DisposableHero · 2010-04-06 22:22:16

ok. exactly what i mean is: for example, these pieces

<move( )steps>
<point towards(

EXCEPT i dont want it moving on the Y-axis WHATSOEVER i still want it to follow me at a controlled speed, just not having the ability to move up or down

Replace target with whatever you want to follow. The script will follow its target on the x axis at a controlled pace.

Wait. Can you rewrite your example script please? I dont quite understand what i need to do...

archmage · 2010-04-06 23:13:11

Its really really basic

okay. i did that and it works. thank you. but one more problem. the enemies are starting at places i did not intend them to start at. i even forced them to go to a certain spot but they keep overriding it 0.o

Did you get X and Y mixed up? That happens to me sometimes tongue
