I've made a few changes and implemented this logic into my larger project. However, I can't seem to get the "action" variable to stick to just the unique enemy instance that I'm within range of... it seems to change the "global" variable for all of the enemies.

You can see the larger project here: skyrunner.kissr.com

The .capx is here: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/88974109/Skyrunner.capx

It's still in the early stages, but since I've already posted the .capx I figured I'd post the game itself in a playable form.

I'd like some feedback on this initial level. I know that some tutorial screens and explanations of the controls would help and those are coming.

For now:

Wall Jump Controls

on Gamepad, Press A when again a wall

on Keyboard, Press the opposite direction to jump off

Teleport Controls

on Gamepad, Jump and Press X to teleport

on Keyboard, Jump and Press X to teleport

Weapon Controls

on Gamepad, Press B to fire

on Keyboard, Press Z to fire

Alright, I just realized why I didn't use the else function. It's because I have multiple instances of the enemy and I can't get them to act independently. I'm going to ask that this topic be moved to the "How do I..." section by any moderator that can do me the favor.

Thanks Zenox, that did fix it. I'm still not quite sure why though. I'm assuming that it's doing both actions, but the second option isn't true in that specific instance.

Either way, the else function worked just fine.

Hello All - I'm attempting to finish the logic needed for the following project: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/88974109/enemy_LoS_example.capx

You can try the game here: ephrisian-trial.kissr.com

As you play it, you'll notice that the enemy does the following:

if -> detector IS overlapping player && detector IS NOT overlapping tiles

|

   -> enemy follow player

if -> detector IS overlapping tiles && IS NOT within origin

|

   -> respawn at origin

However, This is not the ideal situation. I'd like to enemy to follow the player even though the detector hits a tile, but only for a few seconds.

if -> detector IS overlapping player && detector IS NOT overlapping tiles

|

   -> enemy follow player

if -> detector IS overlapping tiles && IS NOT within origin

|

   -> wait # seconds

   -> return to origin

As you can see, I'd like to have the enemy sprite set pathfinding back to it's origin and then follow it. However I have not been successful with that.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

To start, it's pretty awesome! I love the quick action and especially love the range of weapons. The AI is also really challenging and gives the feel of being an actual player hunting you down.

Feedback:

The tumble controls are a little choppy since the action reacts on the 3rd key press at times. Did you make it "On release"?

Personally, I'd remove the double tap "roll" function and maybe make it a different key in order to allow quick movement without sudden jolting of the sprite.

As I play it I'll add more feedback.
