well it half worked, my enemy will turn around if he hits the dummy on the right (so he's now travelling left) but he walks straight through the left one instead of turning back again :S

thank you very much newt, im just trying that now, i'll let you know how it goes :)

ah good point :L i didnt notice the dates

After about an hour or so of tweaking, everything is running perfectly!

Now i can have multiple heat seeking missiles chaotically flying towards different enemies on screen, all with crazy light trails everywhere and it actually looks exactly how I wanted it to! <!-- s:D --><img src="SMILIES_PATH/icon_biggrin.gif" border="0" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

thanks guys.

would you mind uploading the cap so i can have a quick look at how you done it as im a little stumped atm, and im wanting to do bassicly the same thing but with a trail of paint after my paintbrush sprite.

i tried but failed, i think though now that i have alot more experience with consruct i could probly do something very similar

here is a picture of whats going on

ok so 74 views but no answer, i guess i didnt really explain enough, i just want my enemies to have simple left-right movement from 1 side of a platform to the other like the enemies in mario.

wow thats brilliant, i cant work out how you done it but i love it, the effect trail is the same thing ive been wanting to incorporate into my game... but dont worry i wont steal your idea (i cant work it out haa)
