  • In my game the player uses 8-direction movement and has a different animation play depending on which direction they are moving in, and I want to do the same thing with the enemy but I can't figure out how to make them be restricted to the 8-directions (as in not being able to move at any angle), I want them to chase the player but not beeline straight to them because I want to make sprites for each angle they face and also make them a bit easier to avoid, I also want them to wander around with 8-direction movement but if I just put 8 direction movement it doesn't work, is there a way to only have them move like this through the event sheet or behaviours?

  • Hello. Although I am a certified expert using another game engine, I am a newbie using Construct (I am testing it before deciding whether to buy it). However, I think I can help you about what you are asking for.

    So, I have created a Construct project file that contains the solution to your problem. When you run it in Construct, you will see a player sprite, a chaser sprite, and a wanderer sprite, all of them are restricted to the 8-directions movement.
