Does anyone know the scrpt just to make an enemy chase a player everytime he is near ?

Also does anyone know a good working ladder code, I tried doing search here but somehow none of the ladder codes given worked on my game, does anyone know a working one ?
I am planning in my game for the player to climb a wall.

thanks in advance.

I got the chasing code:


var reaction_distance = 200;
action enemy
{
while(me)//while I exist in the level
{
//check for the player
if(player)
{
//turn to the player
vec_set(temp.x,player.x)
vec_sub(temp.x,my.x);
vec_to_angle(my.pan,temp.x);
if(vec_dist(my.x,player.x) < reaction_distance)
{
ent_move(vector(5,0,0),vector(0,0,-3)
}
}
wait(1);
}
}

I haven't tested it but, it should work

Thanks alot Roel I am sure it works the only thing is it gave me a couple of errors one I fixed, the other I am not sure whats wrong,
the first was just it needed a semicolon the other one is this.

var reaction_distance = 200;
action enemy
{
while(me)//while I exist in the level
{
//check for the player
if(player)
{
//turn to the player
vec_set(temp.x,player.x);
vec_sub(temp.x,my.x);
vec_to_angle(my.pan,temp.x);
if(vec_dist(my.x,player.x) < reaction_distance)
{
ent_move(vector(5,0,0),vector(0,0,-3)
}
}
wait(1);
}
}

the error says

Quote:

---

< ent_move(vector(5,0,0),vector(0,0,-3) }>
MYNEWGAME.WDL 90:-1 Error(6): script error last line
.
error in script

I am not sure how to fix this.

add ";" to the end of ent_move,

ent_move(vector(5,0,0),vector(0,0,-3);

I tried that before it only gives me another error.

< ent_move(vector(5,0,0),vector(0,0,-3)>

ent_move(vector(5,0,0),vector(0,0,-3));

sorry i didn't catch that before

add a ")" just before the ";" and after the last ")". check above

yes that worked thanks

Thanks to you guys the code worked )
I have done so many thinsg in my game.
This is the picture of the bats in my underground pyramid cave level.



and here are the bats following me and when I shoot it they disappear.




I know i'm pushing it, but I want my game to have everything I want to make a super game I am sorry for keep asking advice.
I would like to know how to make a entity appear for 5 seconds and dissapear for 5 seconds like in megaman.

The entity platform is on top of a lava pit (which I already made)so I must jump from platform to platform, the danger is the platform that I jump on must appear and disappear and then appear again and dissapear and keep on (like 5 seconds its there and 5 seconds it disappear and vice versa) making it harder for me to get to the other side
that's my ingenius plan.

Does anyone know how to do this, i tried coding this myself with everything I learned (ent_morph, functions etc etc) but I couldnt get the job done.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
What I did was something like this.
my.passable=on;
my.invisible=off;
sleep(5);
my.event=entity_dissapear;

then in the function entity_dissapear
something like
my.passable=off;
my.invisible=on;

but the code keep giving me errors and I don't believe I am even close to accomplishing what I have in mind. i am trying to learn and thank you for all u guys help because I gotten so far.
Does anyone know how I can do this ?

you can do something like

action disappearing_platform
{
while(me)
{
my.passable=(my.passable== off);
my.invisible=(my.invisible== off);
sleep(5);
}
}

but this could cause a problem if the platform turns non-passable when another entity (like the player) is at the platform's position. the entity would get stuck in the platform until it turns passable again.

yes it does cause a problem I tried the code but wed would not allow it.
