Hello,
This is an extension for people who want to have a very quick AI for their 2D enemies. Advance functions are available in the new version.

In version 1.4 things are getting a bit advanced. we have a new movement system called cDirection which uses ray tracing for the enemies. in the normal movement system, enemies only have 4 directions and move very classic like. but in this movement system, they can pick any direction and its compatible with image_angle function. the main script is hundreds of lines and you can use it with only 5 lines of code :-]
Also for advanced users, it has some outputs to control the enemies as much as you like for your game.

Version 1.4 + 2 example files added to the first post. Example 2.gmk is about cDirection.

Functions

enemy_initialize();
enemy_hiccupEnabled(bool);
enemy_setHiccupDelay(int);
enemy_checkHiccup();
enemy_setSpeed(int);
enemy_getSpeed();
enemy_keepAlive();
enemy_getDirection();
enemy_cDirection(bool);
enemy_setVision(int);

Example File:


If you find any bug, please report it here and I'll fix it. also suggestions are totally welcome.

Note: This extension is under support and will be developed more.

Just got some time to try this one out. Not bad at all, don't get discouraged by the lack of posts/replies, just hammer on through. Anyways, I may try using this in a small platformer I was getting ready to start on, seems like it would definitely simplify some things.

Thanks

[Nediradesigns]

just wanted to say thanks for this and using it right now as either a placer for the AI in my game or maybe will be using as a permanent feature. Unsure yet till I get to the testing stage

only for platformers ?
