Hello, i am trying to make a bullet hell with enemies that all behave differently. I want the weakest enemy to chase the enemy until in attack range, attack, and if the player gets too close, fall back. I have tried making a solution to the problem myself, but my attempts have not garnered success, so i look to the all-knowing gods of the forums for salvation
How to chase the enemy from a distance, and retreat if the player gets to close
- Edited
oh yeah and here's my code, almost forgot to place it
extends KinematicBody2D
var speed = 300
var velocity = Vector2.ZERO
onready var enemy = get_parent()
var player = null
var attack_range = 350
func _on_Area2D_body_entered(_body):
player = _body
func _on_Area2D_body_exited(_body):
player = null
func _physics_process(_delta):
if player.global_position.x and player.global_position.y > attack_range:
var velocity = (player.position - position).normalized() * speed
move_and_slide(velocity)(that var velocity in the physics process is a failed attempt at solving it)
I'd probably do something like this.
- controlling object determines which mob is weakest
- set attack flag on mob
- if attack flag is set
- check distance to player
- if distance < too_close
- move away (many possibilities)
- else if in firing range
- fire
- else
- move closer by following direction_to()
