I’m glad my brain can still problem solve, though I’d burned it out.

The detector box does detect anything.

Because I broke it (and yet my brain still causes problem) but it was spam killing it’s self, as it was detecting enemy in the box, all enemies are in family, so it self is seen as an enemy. I’m guessing it could just be a case of setting it up out side of family, assuming the variable ID doesn’t work, but it should do I imagine.

Also, I think I may have to assign each enemy a detector box individually as assigning it to enemy family only seem to apply one to the game (I made it visible so I could see it) rather than to 1 on each of the 4 enemies...

Good morning all.

I'm attempting to move all my enemies into a family.

I've managed to get movements sorted out and "food" collection sorted, but this is where I am falling short.

Instead on placing one of each of the enemies within the family, it is placing 3 or 4 of random colours.

-> On start of layout

-> enemy - set position to (random(7600), random(4200))

It does set places in random, but not one of each.

I also can't get the Enemy_detector to center on each of the enemies, instead it seems to either splat randomly on the layout, of as like a relatively equidistant spot between them all.

With the event

->For each enemy(this is a family)

->enemy detector - set position to (enemy.x, enemy.y)

And finally...

How do I make a collision exclusion for each enemy within the family.

so the detector doesn't' detect the enemy it is centered on...

I'm thinking I may have to put each detector on each enemy separate to the family group.

sorry for being a P.I.T.A folks... Theres only so much my brain can work out :/

I opened up my project few hours ago, and have spent past few hours doing my nut in trying to work out what has happened or what I have done...

As the project name suggests its an agar.io style game... There for the obj_player should be following the mouse... But instead it has decided to travel by its self right, and get stuck in the effect I've got for when picking up the Obj_white_food.

I've racked my relatively novice brain, and can't work it out.

Seems all my events are present and in the same place.

The stuff to do with the enemies at the bottom is a work in progress, and probably doesn't work, but I'll work that out once I've got to the bottom of the player movement issue. Just trying to transfer my enemyies into a family to cut down on my event list... Was beginning to get a little silly.

Yea I know my sheet is a mess, my technique is generally whack it on there, then go through it working out what can be consolidated into 1 event, kind of thing.

I did try the usuing the enemy family as a way to detect enemies, issue I had was it was also registering the an enemy as it’s own enemy. So I changed it back to the mess until I had a solution.

Advice is greatly appreciated dude.

Thank you dop, I’ll go change that sort that out.

I can't seem to make my enemies shoot at me, no matter how I programme these plonkers, they always shoot in the direction they are facing...

I have tried BulletAngleofMotion, Set angle towards and also set angle (i think it is called)

no matter how I do it, i end up with the same result...

Also, any idea why my enemies are 'teleporting' across the layout? I know I've programmed enemy_yellow to move pixels at random angle in cases of no LoS found, but teleporting across the layout is a little too far...

I've been working on enemy_yellow, so just ignore the rest of them. although, they too are teleporting.

I want sort out 1, before a mass roll out to the rest of the enemy army...

Thank you

Oooooooh, I got ya now.

It’s usually quite late when I read replies. And brain just minced all the words up.

Thanks Allan

That’s what I don’t understand.

I’ve got the assets outside of layout, but I’m also spawning 1 of each colour directly below there respective asset.

Along with the ones I have spawn event for.

So I took a leaf out of your book, and figured I’ll just destroy them on start up, and that made them not appear up top, but instead I have 2 of each spawning at random locations around the layout...

I haven’t physically placed 3 at the top, they’ve always just appeared there, or where ever I place the off screen asset, regardless of distance from layout.

Thank you Allan.

You've helped no end.

The detector is working fantastically.

I'll get my head around these UIDs, doesn't look to complicated, Just a new concept I'll have to learn eventually.

Do you have any idea why I am still spawning 2 of each enemy.

haha, its all good, i feel like a beginner at least, seems like im getting stuck on everything.

although, making background solid seemed to have solved my vanishing food.

now just gotta try and work on the Enemy movement... or ArtificalIgnorance as i like to call it... buncha morons, just all move to the bottom left edge, and stay there, and i have no idea why... yet i know the LoS and Pathfinding works, cos i have an extra light blue enemy spawn in and goes around collecting his munchies... just, very robotically...

morons, all on em...

thank you for what you did help with, that disappearing food was doing my nut it...

at least my screenshots on here for someone else to have gander at.

sorry missed a screenshot out... this is the third section of event sheet
