In my game the character will be dropping beans and the monster who is exploring the level randomly when they are close to the peans I want them to follow the trail of the peans. How do I do that in game maker? The intention is that they stop their current AI where they explore the level randomly and simply follow the trail of the beans on the ground and when they follow the trail, they consume the beans ones the beans are consume they return back to their original AI. I do not know where to begin on this, any help would be SWEETLY appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

What your gonna want to do is make a path activate when your close to the beans with the functionthe other guy was saying about:

take out the move_towards event and put in a function (no idea what this is sorry ) but once you find the function it should work fine.

Shouldn't it be an instance_nearest bean? Make sure to do that.
