I want my "monsters" to act like the koopas in mario, moving blindly towards a direction and the changing it when hitting a wall or obstacle. And falling when there's no ground under it. Anyone have a suggestion? Thx. n/a

It changes direction if overlapping something 15 left 16 like 14 only for the left collision 17 goes down 18 oops, theres a platform, goes back up note that this gravity doesn't accelerate. Its a rather simple enimy movement and behaves just like a goomba. -

EDIT: I tried changing it's initial direction to left. When it's goin left and hits an obstacle it changes direction and moves on fine, but when its moving right and hits an obstacle it just keeps movin past it. Weird... Edited by the Author. n/a

This is a working engine. Possible causes of your problem: 1. It must be ordered exactly as above in order to work 2. HOT SPOTS The Hot hotspot must be in the center of the object at all times. 3. Frames must all be the same size all the time 4. Disable fine collision detection -

These guys don't change direction when they touch the floor. They did in my old game though . For changing direction when colliding with each other. Insert this event after or before all the others: -Duck overlapping duck +set direction to direction +16 note: If they land on top of each other, this code will make them get stuck on each other. To avoid that, you'll have to wait until I or someone else come up with a solution (most like involving setting a flag, spreading avaule, and doing a fast loop) -
