I have the enemies all set up and working mostly. All of the values they use are in alterable values or alterable strings. The enemy records what distance you are and changes state. The way my AI works is by using counters counting down from either a static number like "1" or using random(?)and when it reaches a set number the state will change. For example if the state is "idle" then the state timer is set to 100 and if the state timer is greater than 11 and "state" equals "idle" it will subtract 1 from the timer. When the timer is lower than 11 or equal to, it will set state timer to random(10) only one action when event loops)(which is 0-9 I believe) Anyway so when it is lower than 10 but greater than 4 it will change the state to walk, or if it is lower or equal to 4 it will change the state to jump. Basically it works like that.
Now my problem has to do with the timer not subtracting when it should. The stupid thing is it won't happen unless there is at least 5 enemies on the field(could be lower but maybe the lower it is the harder it is to break)
I have an example all set up very simple to understand with counters on screen for ID, State timer, and a string set to what state the enemies are at.(the enemies also jump without entering a state by colliding with a background)
So anyway what I'm hoping is that people will try my example and figure out exactly what is going wrong. The way to find the glitch is by running around activating the enemies attack1,attack2,attack3 states and then running away from them and if you get a certain distance away they will go to "idle" Now what is supposed to happen when they hit "idle" is the timer is supposed to set to 50 and then count down but for some reason the timer gets stuck on 11.
Trust me it is a lot easier by viewing the example. Which is right here,

I don't think I can figure out what is wrong by myself so if you take a look know that I really need and appreciate help from the community.

Were you not able to open it because of the Platform Movement object?
It didn't really need PMO so I took it out and replaced it with 8 directional movement. The ai is a custom movement and requires no other extensions.

Yeah when it's State is equal to "idle" and the state timer is greater than 11 then subtract 1 from the timer. It works sorta...
Oh I just changed it so instead of saying greater than 10 but lower than 12 I instead changed it so it says "State timer equals 10 then set state timer to random(10)(0-9) but alas it's still being a jerk. I think it may have something to do with only one action when event loops. I'm thinking that if the condition is already true and it needs to count down it will get to the number it needs to count down to and then do nothing(something like that I'm not really sure)

im confused on the overall goal of this. you want it so the enemies bug you when you get within a cerain distance (which also changes their attacks), but when you arent they either stand around or walk in random directions? and the issue is the countdown part and the fact that after the first idle, they keep walking when they should be idle?
lol, yeah there definatly was a big problem with the greater that 11 part, it was always getting stuck around there. im not too sure but i think you might be overcomplicating things a bit. and youre right it might be a problem with the run this event once. sorry im not able to arrive at any other conclusions that the ones already concluded.
