How do I Get A Sprite To Run Away From Player?

How do I Get A Sprite To Run Away From Player? I have a player and I want it so when the player gets near the sprite the sprite will move away from the player. How to do this? Help is greatly appreciated

Have you tried the Line of sight behavior? This is an example tutorial https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/474/pa ... e-of-sight

Are you talking about top-down movement? Side-scrolling Platform?

Anyway, you can either create an invisible sprite that covers the area that you want the enemy to be alerted with and pin it to the player, or compare the distance between the Player and the Enemy and when it's below a threshold trigger the moving away action.

If you can be more specific it will be easier to help you.

eli0s Sorry I meant a side scrolling.

Ok, since I don't know which method will prove more useful, in this example capx I move to enemies away with the platform behavior (when the ground is uneven) and on just the x axies if the enemy doesn't heve to follow any ground changes...

Tell me if it's close enough.

eli0s Your method is great but my enemy is not on a solid object and is not a platform. Neither is my player so is there anyway to use both X and Y axis to move anywhere on the layout.

Yes, of coarse, the second method is the one you'll have to use, just add move at an angle (angle(Player.X, Player.Y, Enemy.X, Enemy.Y)) to drive the enemies away.
