Finding a path when enemy has line of sight

I'm totally new to Construct 2. I'm trying to make a sprite (bad_dude) find a path to another sprite (dude) when bad_dude has line of sight to dude.

As my event I have:

"bad_dude" has line of sight to "dude"

and my action is:

"bad_dude" find path to (dude.X, dude.Y)

When I move in front of the bad_dude, he doesn't move towards me. I added a sound event to the line of sight action and the sound plays.

Why doesn't the bad dude move?

Have you got another event:

bad_dude: on path found -> bad_dude: move along path

And make sure you're not checking for paths every tick when in line of sight. You could add a "system:every x seconds" condition.

Thanks for the reply. I do have the event bad_dude: on path found -> bad_dude: move along path

I tried making the line of sight check every 0.5 seconds and that didn't work either.

Hmm make sure there is actually a path from bad_dude to dude and that neither of them have solid behavior if you're using solids as obstacles.

I'm stuck at work now but the solid behaviour could well be the issue! I'll check later. Thanks!
