I saw Captain Oblivious's real pic on his deviant art page LOL too shy for these boards I guess

Isn't Ashley young? I recall hearing years back while he went by Tigerworks that he was 12 or som,eething

I have this little guy that I want to move about until he sees the player in sight. Once he detects player he rushes over to bite him, then is delayed a second.

RIght now I was using the RTS movement and line of sight to accomplish this, which works somewhat.

CheeseHead is enemy, Spanky is Player:

CheeseHead: Has LOS to Spanky

CheeseHead: Animation "Dead" is playing

CheeseHeadMove to Spanky

CheeseHead: Does not Have LOS to Spanky

CheeseHeadMove to (random(100), random(100))

What I get is a wacky rotating object that follows player but always seems to have him in Line of Sight. I'm not too familiar with these behaviors, anyone have any suggestions?

Ashely sorry to hear that! Ouch! I hope you have a quick recovery and feel better! What a beaver!

because... well... it looks good

yes...yes it does!

Hm I don't have that problem...very very weird

In the picture editor, click the orange star shaped tool. That's the hotspot. You have to manually place it with mouse for now.

How simple and useful! I could see this being used in a platform game with a collapsing ceiling making a bridge. Thank you much Rich!

I have a basic platform example here:

Hey all! This might be useful to some starting out, it's basic but covers using a detector, animations and music.

Big thanks to Captain Oblivious who helped me with animations and Ashley and Rich!

Good luck!

Captain Oblivious has helped me greatly with getting animations to work on my platform game, so I'll make a platform example this evening.
