Hey guys I am having some trouble with tds AI, I cant figure out how to make them follow the nearest path. Here's what i have so far,
[codebox]if distance_to_point(path5.x,path5.y) >= 250 && distance_to_object(player) >= 100
move_towards_point(path5.x,path5.y,2)
else
if distance_to_point(path5.x,path5.y) <= 25 && distance_to_object(player) >= 100
path_start(path5,2,0,0)[/codebox]
As you probably noticed it pops an error on .x because well path5 is not an object, any ideas?

i want the zombie to walk around other zombies/walls so they dont get stuck/pile heres my attempt [codebox]if distance_to_object(obj_zombie) > 15
path_start(path0,3,3,2)[/codebox]they go to the path but i need them to stay were they are and use the path but when they do hey jump to the top right and use the path im sure its a very simple fix so yea... as you can tell im not use to coding paths but if you could help me out that would be great
