Using pathfinding how do you follow enemy object UID? If I have multiple of the same enemy objects, how do i make an object follow the enemy object by UID?

If you use a condition such as enemy.UID = num, then when you use the find path to enemy action it will pick that enemy.

the enemy that is clicked on should become the target and should follow until the target change. I cannot figure it out,

Have at look at my solution in this thread. They are set to automatically find a target if they don't have one but you can replace that with on object clicked or whatever your conditions need to be.

Delete the 3rd event and move the find path action to the 2nd event.

Not really understanding the question because your logic is not to follow by UID but to find path on the enemy that is clicked? Clicking the enemy picks it so you can find a path. To find by UID would be something like condition enemy.UID=num, find path to enemy but with a trigger once added.

I got it to Follow from a distance how I want it but if there is another enemy near, eventually he follows that one gyazo.com/90e82733a4edd2b11324198b90904390

I want him to follow the same enemy unless lost of sight or clicked off

I used 2 different lineofsight behaviors, its works but as said it starts following the other

So maybe it would be possible to follow the enemy by UID?

I tried this, not sure if its correct, doesnt work

Im trying to achieve something like, Player stores enemy UID to Variable [FOLLOWEnemyUID] on touch

If enemy UID equal to Player.FOLLOWEnemyUID

Every Tick - Player Find path to the specific Enemy with that UID

but it doesnt work

Titan Games The example I posted earlier in the thread does what you are trying to do. You only need to replace the event that assigns the UID with your On Touch event, and the event that removes the target when it is destroyed to remove the target when line of sight is lost.
