Metroidvania Ennemy AI failed !
MAyno16 it glitches everytime
Also could you give a description of exactly what and how 'glitches'?
Megalomaniak the problem is the chasing phase and the direction the ennemy is facing. it does seem to work only when it detects me from the left but when it detects me from the right he flips to the other side, and i don't know exactly what part of my code did the problem

Have you tried using breakpoints to debug it during runtime?
ps. the video doesn't work for me, but I also have js/script blocking add-on installed on my browser so it could be that I didn't give the necessary privileges to the right thing.
There is a godot behavior tree plugin on github called beehav, which will make your life a lot easier if you could intergrate,it into your exist AI codes.

You mean Beehave?
Megalomaniak yeah my mistake.

it was hard to understand how to integrate it into my own project because the developper didn't explain how it actually works. He did demonstrate its usage on his personal project tho. Can you suggest any documentation or tutorial please ?
MAyno16
Just take a look at his tutorial example demo's video here:
In this video's comment area there are also more videos targetting wider audience and newbie godot devs.

Thank you very much but i actually got the code fixed on my own. Nevertheless, i will definitely try Beehave
Here is the Reworked chase code part:
func chase_player():
var direction = (player.position - position).normalized()
if $Vision.is_colliding() and is_on_floor() and !is_chasing:
last_dir = direction.x
is_chasing = true
if is_chasing:
if abs(last_dir-direction.x)>abs(last_dir) and not(flipped):
flipped = true
flipSK()
elif abs(last_dir-direction.x)<abs(last_dir) and flipped:
flipped = false
flipSK()
motion.x = direction.x * CHASE_SPEED
motion.y += GRAVITY
motion = move_and_slide(motion,Vector2.UP)
if abs(direction.x) > 0.9998:
is_chasing = false
func flipSK():
$AnimatedSprite.flip_h = not($AnimatedSprite.flip_h)
$HoleChecker.position.x = -$HoleChecker.position.x
$PlayerChecker.scale.x = -$PlayerChecker.scale.x
$AttackChecker.scale.x = -$AttackChecker.scale.x
$Vision.rotation_degrees = -$Vision.rotation_degreesMAyno16 That's good to know,you finally got it working.
Ultimately beehave will make ai behaviors more manageable and maintain–able, though plugging it into exist codes can be rather frustrating, I am also trying to use beehave as my game's individual unit AI, and It's taking alot more efforts compare to a primitive state machine stuff, but imo it will pay off in a long run.
