  I want to make an Age of Zombies clone for the moment so I�m planning to have about 30 or more enemies to chase the player at once all the time.

  I honestly didn�t even think about the respawning enemies tactic, I think I will use it and see how things come up. There are only going to be a few small obstacles or places where the player has a narrow movement, like a bridge, so I hope it won't be too intensive for Pathfinding.

  Thank you very much, your reply certainly gave me good ideas!

  Hi everyone!

  I�m making a top-down shooter similar to the one in the beginners tutorial, I placed a few obstacles to make it harder for the player to get around, but I would also like the enemies to avoid those obstacles as well while chasing the player.

  I�m using the bullet behavior for the enemies and I�m setting their angle towards Player.X and Player.Y on every tick just like in the tutorial, I also set the "Bounce off solids" option to yes, the problem is when the obstacle is too large the enemy will get stuck if the player stays at the right angle (at 180� for example), so this makes the AI not very clever.

  Should I use 8-direction movement? (and how?) Or pathfinding? I heard it�s not a good practice to use Pathfinding if there are going to be a lot of enemies doing it, and there will be a lot of enemies at once

  Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
