A custom enemy movement

Hello everyone,

This is my first post in your great forum...

I am testing the SCIRRA software to create a HTML 5 game.

I would like to ask you a question:

How to apply to custom movement for a enemy (which is normally a sprite object) based on the X axis(= I mean horizental move)?

I couldn't find a simple tutorial and I am a newbie with SCIRRA

Hello newgamer

Here is a great patrolling example made by JohnnySix showing you how you can achieve this:

There is a download link for the example .capx in the description.

You can also simply assign the bullet behavior to your enemy which will automatically give them a linear movement which you can then use your events and logic to tweak.

Thank you very much both of you gentel men!

I tried to implement BluePhaze solution, indeed I asseigned the bullet behaviour to my enemy(which is supposed to move above a wall), then I added a condition just like that:

(to perform the left movement)

System -> Every tick -> myenemy : Move 3 pixels at angle 180

until now, it works!!!

Then, I want to make it back when he arrived to the wall limit( the right movement), I want to compare the wall X and my enemy X coordinates:

myenemy -> X <= wall.X : myenemy: Move 3 pixels at angle 0

but the problem is that myenemy object didn't turn back :(

What was my mistake?

Is there any other solution to make my enemy goes back when he arrived to the wall limit? <img src="smileys/smiley34.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
