I need help finetuning my enemy behaviour

Hi everyone!

I'm pretty new at this, and I'm trying to make an enemy chase me when I get into his range.

I use physical obstacles to make the enemy patrol an area. This includes walls + an invisible object (named "EnemyTurnDirection") to make the enemy turn and walk the other way. Then I use Line of sight to detect the player (the yellow box) and start to move at double speed towards him.

Here's how it looks in the editor:

This sorta works, but there is one major problem. If the enemy has detected the player, and starts walking fast towards him, the enemy will ignore the physical obstacles, leading it away from its patrol area.

Could someone please look at my "script" and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

what is the value in the EnymiRunningSpeed ??

That's just a Global variable I set to control the speed of the enemy when running.

If the movement speed is high, then it is necessary to check the collision through onStep

OnStep? I tried googling it. What is it? How do I use it?

similar to this behavior

So I tried enabling stepping on the enemy, but it doesn't seem to do much.

This is how the enemy behaves now. I guess I'm doing some of the logic wrong?

see "// if" delete event

Yeah, you are right. this duplicated event is reduntant. But removing it doesn't change anything.

You made it so that when x < x.player the Angle Motion = 0

That is, when the "Enemy Turn Direction" object sees the player, it always follows the direction of angle 0.

If you need to keep eye on the backside.

if Cone of View = 360
