[SOLVED] Enemy attacking player

[Stranga]

Hello everyone,

I'm in a bit of a pickle. I want to make the enemy attack the player but then pause for a few seconds then follow/attack again (sorta like invincible frames)

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute() 
{
  cEnemy.FollowCharacter(player, 1, 100);
  
  if (cEnemy.IsCollidingWithChar(player))
  {
//Enemy Attacks!
      player.Tint(100, 0, 0, 100, 90);
      PlayerHealth -= 3; //Player takes damage
      cEnemy.Animate(0, 9, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards);  
      cEnemy.UnlockView(eKeepMoving);
      player.RemoveTint();
      tickspassed = 0;
  }
}

This is what I have so far(trying to keep things simple...if I can)
Any help will be greatly appreciated

So, if cEnemy collides with the player cEnemy animates and the player loses health..

And you want to this to repeat?

You will probably need to move the player away just a little bit from cEnemy and have cEnemy again follow player...

I think this is what you mean... Or do you mean repeat actions a few times in succession?

If cEnemy collides with player, cEnemy animates player loses health, then cEnemy can't move for a few seconds (giving the player a chance to move) then chases the player again.

I apologize if this was confusing.

Maybe have the player walk say about 10 pixels away from cEnemy and have character repeat follow.... player will then only have a very short time to run away.

Food for thought...

Is there a way to check how far cEnemy may be to the player?

You have 1 pixel follow

cEnemy.FollowCharacter(player, 1, 100);

you could add a condition if enemy x from player then run collide script.

thanks Slasher, that did the trick!
