So currently i'm trying to make a mechanic as follows:

- When the player in LOS of the enemy, the enemy will flee.

- When the player is out of enemy's LOS, the enemy will keep fleeing for a second before going back to normal movement.

I tried using "wait" event, but it doesn't work. I haven't figure it out how to do it yet, any suggestion on how to do it? Capx attached.

So, here's my current event for the movement animation :

With this event, the animation works perfect. But, the problem is when I quickly press left & right, the animation failed to mirror. For example, when the player move to the right, and then quickly I change direction to the left, the player walk to the left but the animation is still not mirrored a.k.a moonwalking.

Now, if I do this :

The moonwalk problem is gone, but the animation won't stop when I'm not moving the character.

Any suggestion?

I'm using 8-directions movement on my sprite, but everytime i move my sprite, it rotate following the angle.

If i disable the set angle in 8-directions, it doesn't rotate, but the angle will fixed at 0 degree.

What i wanted to do is to make my sprite move in 8-direction, change the angle everytime it move to any direction, but not rotating the sprite (At least i want it to flip when it move left & right)

Any suggestion?

Because of your insight, now i'm using boolean variable instead of "Every tick" event to move the enemy and it works perfect when i want it to stop at collision. Thank you very much!

Hey, guys! Sorry if my question is kinda noobish, but i really wonder about this.

Is there any other way to make AI move without using "Every tick"?

I'm working on a top-down shooter game, and my enemy movement is worked well. The problem is, i want to add some mechanic when the enemy collide with the player, it'll stop the enemy movement for a while and then back to accelerate. I can't stop the movement because it's under "Every tick", even if i tell to stop movement when enemy collide with the player, it won't work.

I wondering for other way for AI movement, beside using "Every tick" event.

Thank you
