Can I Make My Character Switch Y Axis Smoothly?

Kyatric

Im trying to figure out how to make my enemy switch its Y axis similar to How the Y axis of the enemies in this clip are.

Ive marked it at the exact time where the action starts.

Im just trying to make the enemy move to my players Y axis before he actually starts to move forward and attack if that makes sense.think you could give me a hand.

If you give the enemy an attack range variable, you can proceed as follows...

enemy distance(enemy.x,enemy.y,player.x,player.y) is less than a distance you specify, set an attack variable to 1

else set attack to 0

then enemy attack is greater than 0, set enemy y to player y

You could set them to randomly walk towards player by having them set angle to player only when a certain animation frame is played...

enemy is on screen, attack =0

animation frame =2 set enemy movement to player x,player y this will set the enemy edging towards the player...

Try this Rookie, https://db.tt/gkpg449g The actual movement they use is more complex than this of course but should get you started.
