How do I make enemies attack the player character

[seraphimdreamer777]

How am I supposed to get a enemy character to attack the player character I've looked it up in both the help files and FAQ pages and on top of that I can't get enemies to move on their own free will either they only move if I interact with them such as look,speak,touch,use item,etc. So basically what I'm asking is how I give enemies A.I.

So basically what I'm asking is how I give enemies A.I.

My game has a lot of characters who have very simple AI. You just need to use 'repeatedly_execute_always()'. In my game I typically have 30 characters on screen, and they decide to walk or talk on their own.

The only problem I had was speed, since it can slow the game down f you change so many things every frame. But I solved that by checking just one character every frame, and using "WalkStraight" instead of "Walk" whenever possible.

Yep, rep_ex, Character.x/.y and a functioning brain is pretty much all you need.

Thanks but I tried what you told me but its not working and mainly I wanted to get the enemies to follow the player character without me having to click on them first sorry if I wasn't as specific

There's the FollowCharacter command, I believe it's what you're looking for. Read the manual to get more information about it.
