  An example might be close to what you are looking for: dropbox.com/scl/fi/futhyhxo5wbfz4txot0rw/4-direction-chase-avoid.capx

  I just love to think about possibilities to achieve something. Maybe the case you brought fascinate me to actualize the idea. Hopefully I can work on it in weekend.

  The easiest way possible to make enemy chasing player while avoiding building is just mimick player movement with sort of delay. When player moves he will drop kind of trace/trail as waypoint for the enemy to follow through. Waypoint can be spawned when player make a direction turn or timed every x second.

  That's okay going on your route that way. You can store several words in variable, list, array, dictionary or even text. Threat them as string so you can use tokenat to pick a word that met certain condition. For example you have variable "utensil" with value: fork#spoon#knife

  Now you can check in condition whether there is any value has one of these word:

  For 0 to 2

  farsi_input = Tokenat(utensil, loopindex, "#")

  Trigger once

  Then you can call object based on farsi_input with whatever you want to do with them. Put those object in Family or separate them in different animation name will make things efficient.

  Hi.

  It looks like you want to make mechanics as shown in many commercials, where weapons like swords rotate around the player.

  In that case I have an example: dropbox.com/scl/fi/3r96xbou4uoqrkxjmi9jr/aero_sword.capx

  I often hit barrier that stop the progress and turn me down a bit. Yet I learn and try something new; alternatives way or workaround. It is an adventure for me to discover and un-puzzle mechanics under the hood.

  When things got worse I just switch to another project and eventually comeback to troubleshoot the game.

  Sure mathematical expression a lot more straightforward & should give exact result. You can always comeback later perfecting the formulae, for now it is good enough since you make it to works.

  Here a Godot user take on auto-tile: kidscancode.org/godot_recipes/3.x/2d/autotile_intro/index.html

  My take on overlaying border (not auto-tile): construct.net/out

  Are you planning to use corner tile? Then it will be 8 direction tile detection.

  An interesting article from Godot user about auto tiling.

  Well for the last example some parts derived from R0J0 example that modified with approach & feature I had in mind. Most examples I shared in forum made by me.

  Take your time to grasp how things work. It's really rare in my experience executing an idea in one take.

  A little introduction about the company won't hurt I guess?

  It may be not easy to understand, but following example does the job avoiding obstacle for perfect grid movement: dropbox.com/scl/fi/9e9w6kcpfa024h1bsq0zy/path_touch.capx

  It means adding additional angle deviation (taking turn) from 10 degree to 90 degree with estimation of 3/10 fraction. If the interpolate estimation value is 1 it means reach 90 degree immediately at full fraction. It's an old code anyway that should be replaced by anglelerp so it would be Self.Angle + anglelerp(10, 90, 0.3).
