How do I make a AI that follow the player

A simple way of going about it would be to change the x/y values of the AI based on the player’s x/y values, like this:
followPlayer.wick (2.0 KB)
You can move the blue circle around with the arrow keys and the green circle follows it.

In the update script for the green circle, its x and y increase or decrease based on the player’s x and y. To adjust the speed, you just go to the default script of the main timeline frame, and change the AIspeed variable:

AIspeed=4;

(a smaller number would make it slower, a bigger number would make it faster)

this is a repeated topic. there’s already an answer for you.

How do make an ai

The simplest AI is one that follows a character! You could edit the code from this example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9j-3Ka09U8&feature=emb_logo So that instead of mouseX, mouseY it uses character.x character.y I expanded on the example above and made this little AI follower example. The fly checks how far it is from the character, and moves toward the character if he’s further away! HTML and .wick file are down below.

I knew there had to be something like this already, for some reason I didn’t see it at all when searching in the forum earlier…I guess because I used the search terms “follow player” instead of “follow character”.
