I tried Fenix a while back, gave up, then started again last month. Found the Fenix on Fire site with some examples, flipped through the Fenix manual, but I'm stuck again on what is probably a really easy thing to do. I have a character (right now called enemy1). I also have a character (right now called hero). I have the hero setup so you can move him/her with keyboard keys. No problem. How do I randomize the movement of enemy1? I want the enemy to be able to move freely about the screen until it runs into the hero (I have collision detection setup). Help, please? ____________ |

Here's a simple suggestion. Code: advance(5); // Insert level collision detection around here. if (turntimer--<=0) // Randomly picks one of the four cardinal directions. // This can be adapted to free rotation or to disallow the same angle to be drawn twice in a row. angle=rand(0,3)*90000; // Next rotation in 25 to 100 frames. turntimer=rand(25,100); end Where turntimer is a private variable of enemy1 If your code uses graphics that shouldn't rotate, you can introduce your own variable that stores the current direction and use, for instance, xadvance(). For more detailed help I'll need more detailed information. ____________ Maker of Games... Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Need help with coding? I probably wrote something similar. |

Here is an idea for a "chasing" enemy, followed on Eckolin's principle. It will move in the player's direction (but only in 4 directions) Fenix code: advance(5); // Insert level collision detection around here. if (turntimer--<=0) player_id = get_id(type player); if (player_id != 0) new_angle = (get_angle(player_id)/90000)*90000; else new_angle = rand(0,3)*90000; end angle=new_angle; turntimer=rand(25,100); end ____________ Kwakkel |

ASL = Age, Sex, Location. It's typically used by MSN whores like Square. Anyway, I hope you have sorted your code out!
