Set attack intervals

I've been reading threads and tutorials for several hours but I can't find an answer to this.

I'm making a tower-defense kind of game.

When a MOB get's to a "base" I want it to start attacking the base.

When it's within X pixels, attack... then wait, then attack again.

(Ultimately, I also want them to attack other nearby structures/MOBS, but I'll be happy to get this going for now.)

This seems easy enough, but I'm not finding the answers I'm looking for.

Thanks!!!!!

The mob will attack the base?

Maybe create invisible carpet on attack place (to avoid within X pixels).

Conditions:

mob is overlapping "AttackPlace"

system every x seconds       

Actions:

mob set amimation to "Attacking" (play from beginning), system substruct from "BaseHP" 1

There isnt a way to set this up to have it attack anything thats within X pixels?

If monster is within 10 pixels of RedBase, attack, then wait 1.5 seconds and attack again, and keep doing this....

Ok, how about to do "invisible carpet" over the mob +10 pixels in width and height to mob's size.

And conditions:

mob_carpet is overlapping "RedBase" (mob_carper on conclusion with "RedBase")

system every x seconds

...

But I'm not sure I'm understanding you.

try something like this.

Condition:

-Every x Second

--for each Mob

---Distance(Mob.x,Mob.y,Structure.x,Structure.y) < (Your pixel distance)

Action:

-Mob Attack

try something like this.

Condition:

-Every x Second

--for each Mob

---Distance(Mob.x,Mob.y,Structure.x,Structure.y) < (Your pixel distance)

Action:

-Mob Attack

it's better...
