Prevent all enemies react at once when overlap

This time Iam the one who needs help lol

what i try to do here is a patroling platform enemy with a vision area that when the player overlaps,the enemy will start chase the player, but only inside its patroling zone.

Sofar i got nearest to what i desire by using sprites for making the distance because playing with the system distance caused too much trouble....

Now heres what I need, I got two same enemies set up in their own patrol zone whos share same events and actions.

I need the enemy to ignore chasing actions when the other one spots the player so I can use this to create a level full of enemies with their own patrol zones.

I'm no expert. But I would suggest using instance variables to conrol that. Ex- set instance variables for each enemy indicating player spotted, either boolean or numeric with 0 and 1 (open/closed). Then set action/event sequences setting enemy 1's sight to false if enemy 2's sight is true and vice versa.

I'm working in a sample for you, maybe tonight I edit this post with it. =]

Unfortunely Im not really good with variables, but thankyou for the advice :)

I figured out that by adding event "Pick nearest" solves the problem construct.net/en

But I deffinitely will apreseate your ideas to solve it :)

Afterall,there are many ways to do the same result

Here it is.

You can make your "Detecting area" or use like I did.. =)

I organized in groups and if you need comments in the code, just place another post asking for ^^

Hi TELLES0808

maybe you removed the file but your link does not work anymore :(

Would it be possible for you to link it again?

Thanks

File deleted a long time ago, sorry.

i apologize for the unfortunate missing files of the examples. I cant really even remember if i deleted or moved the files from dropbox but i do plan making new ones that hopefully wont have this issue again
