Hi Friends,

how do you make smart 'enemies' that chase or move towards your fighter? any tutorials on this?

Another challenge is how to make diagonal movement with the keyboard arrows? How do I make two keypresses(up and left for example) represent a diagonal movement?

Thanks, woktoc

This is for the diagonal movement:

on (keyPress "<Right>") {
this._x+=2;
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
this._y-=2;;
}

}

on (keyPress "<Up>") {
this._y-=2;
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x+=2;;
}

}


You can try something like this for the chasing:
onClipEvent(load){
speed = 40
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
movex = (this._x-_root.target._x)/speed;
this._x -= movex;


movey = (this._y-_root.target._y)/speed;
this._y -= movey
}
