having trouble with enemy ai - patrool wait patrool

Basically I want my ai to walk to the right, hit a colision with a stop object and walk left, rinse and repeat.

BUT before turning, I want it to wait fox X seconds without moving.

patrool state: walk in the direction that you are facing (check if mirrored) , if hit object -->wait state

wait state: wait for 1-2 seconds without moving, turn around , then go back to patrool state

It however does one of the two:

the object does not go to wait state

or

the object goes right through the colision and doesnt even go to wait state.

can someone please share a working example. Nobody on youtube has made one where the enemy stops, then waks in the opposite direction

Done just run the capx and watch

The enemy will move to other side, wait 3 seconds and then come back!!

ah thank you. I solved it this way: the trick was to edit the colision box, so when the enemy turns it stops to overlap the other object

btw in your example the enemy does not turn around after waiting

Ok now I have a new problem - when one enemy hits a collision, it affects all the enemies that did not hit it! When I refer to the enemy as the enemies family.

Enemies: enemyA-instance1,enemyA-instance2

blurymind

1) The enemy did not turn because its a circle LOL. All you have to do is set the animation in your game to turn or mirror.

Here is an updated version with 2 enemies doing it in the proper order.
