[SOLVED]problem with move towards

[Dustiwi]

hi, I'm having a weird issue with move towards, a have an enemy that simply moves towards the player as longs as he's inside the collider, i dragged the enemy prefab into the map and it works fine, but when i use create object to make it spawn as an object(clone), move towards now works backwards, instead of moving towards the player when entering the collider, it gets away from the player, i just cant get my head around what's going on, is it a glitch in playmaker or unity?

Hi.
when its spawned as a prefab it will not find the player object.

prefab object can not communicate with scene objects (also when its a prefab that was spawned in the scene.

what you can do is :
Create a Global Variable "Player" then on player use set owner and target the global variable.

on the enemy target the global player variable.

another way would be 'Find Game Object' but you should only do that at the start of a scene, not during gameplay.

oh i understand, the only part that im lost is the set owner on the player, where can i find that?

[djaydino]

Hi.
Sorry, i mean 'Get Owner' or 'Set Game Object'

[Dustiwi]

also, do i make a new fsm for doing just that action?

[djaydino]

Hi.
No, you can place it on any fsm on a start state on the player
