How do I add some chaos to my enemy movement?

I've got a game where something pops-up in a random location, and a group of enemies head towards it.

However, using the MoveTo behaviour they just straight-line it when it appears.

I wondered if I could add a little variety to the movement? For instance make them move in a random direction first for 1 second, then turn to head to the object?

A bit like they're looking in random directions then they see it and head towards it?

Any other suggestions?

I can set the direction to a random angle first... but can't get them to move in that direction for a second or two before heading straight at the object.

It's a top-down game FYI.

Thanks for any help.

Hmmm, interesting idea/question. Maybe after they spawn set their angle to a random selection using random(). Then do a System>Wait for how long they should wait, and then have them find a path to the object they move to. Then have them move to that object?

You could even set a random angle, then move in that direction for a set wait time, then find the path, and move to the other object.

Thanks for the reply.

I've set a random angle to begin with, but what is the command to make them move off in that angle in the first place?

I'm used to setting a target. I'm not sure how to point something in a direction then sending them off before I give them a target to follow?

Apologies for the late response, your solutions ended up working perfectly and added just enough random movement before the targeted movement to get the result I was looking for.

Now to finish the game...

Excellent! Happy to hear, I was able to help. Good luck with the rest of the game :)
