You can take advantage of a "state" variable on your crow object. Use different events to control the behavior according to the state.

For example, add an instance boolean variable "attacking", default false.

For your events:

1. if "attacking" is false -> fly in specified area.

2. Trigger once, compare two values distance(player.x, player.y, crow.x, crow.y) < specified distance -> set "attacking" to true.

3. If "attacking" is true -> attack player

im still new to c2 so thats a little confusing sadly....

please if someone could make this work in my capx file and put comments explaining why it works so i can learn it id truly appreciate it.....spent last 2 hour trying things and cant get to work.

I don't have any plugins so I cannot open your project. Here is a quick concept example - https://www.dropbox.com/s/uzdqmvi7bpq43 ... .capx?dl=0
