Title: [SOLVED] 2D Top Down Shooter - need help to do Enemy Follow
Post by: tropgrille on July 05, 2019, 02:56:08 PM

Hi

I m currently working on a game 2D twin stick shooter like binding of isaac.
I m not a programmer but I can understand c sharp script, and i’m a ok user of playmaker.
(note that this is a  4 player pvpve game, local splitscreen)

I cannot find a way to make the Enemy follow the player.

I have a trigger on the enemy that detect the player, i can get the player position but I dont find a way to move the enemy in my 2D environment.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

you would need something like the action Translate, and set that to your players vector3 to ensure the logic is sound.

Long term, you would probably want to use a tween, like DoTween for performance reasons.  They have translate, move towards, etc that would allow you to have hundreds of movement actions performed at the same time without penalty.

Thank you I finally made it work with Move Towards.
Not sure why it did not work the first time i tried, but my problem is now solved.

Thanks
