  Seems like you have to increase the max speed a lot to make Vector X work and give a proper "push".

  And I'll throw in this example I found somewhere on this board:

  on collision with enemy

  set vectorX: (self.X-enemy.x)/Abs(self.X-enemy.X)*1000000

  this works from both left and right of the enemy and "pushes" you back in the opposite direction.

  Great, thanks a lot!

  That takes care of the grenede problem mentioned in the first post too; Trigger-once messed things up, so that's good to know.

  I guess I'll be a nuisance and bump this thread now and then and see if anyone can help .

  I have tried lots of different things and looked in the tutorial section, but of no avail...

  I think this is the example capx from the first page (broken link).

  Bump.

  Here's the example even more simplified:

  The AI is just some random events, I can't make this work with two or more enemies on screen...

  Well,it doesn't seem to work for me no matter how simple I make it...

  here is a somewhat simplified version

  Again, it works with one instance but not with two or more. Is there is some way to make it work?

  Back with some instance trouble, I just don't seem to grasp it ....

  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/98471899/Scirra/testAI.capx

  I tried to make some basic AI here and it works with one instance but if you duplicate the soldier it will mess up things. Not sure about the "For Each" event here, it doesn't seem to work with or without it....

  And press Z will create a grenade that should land on the solid block, it works most of the time but sometimes it falls through the block if you keep pressing Z enough times.

  It's because it is testing all of those conditions every tick and so only paying attention to the last two. The tree works because it is the last in the list - Change the order of the events so that the events testing for the house are last and it will work for the house and not the tree. Perhaps if you changed your conditions to an 'on collision' test? Maybe that would work?

  Thanks for the help.

  I redid it here and it seems to work OK now (but needs a bit polish).

  Oops, a little mistake when I threw together this example... Still the same problem though.

  I'm trying to get the player (8Direction) to move behind and in front of some objects. With this example it works only with the tree but not with the other two objects.

  And more... A bit clearer and better example than the last one.

  I have an enemy here going left or right and jumping at random, using the Timer behavior. With one instance it seems to able to go on forever but with two they'll get stuck after a while, may take a minute or two.
