    You Need to calculate the distance, and when distance is lower than a number, he shoots.
    Search in site wiki for magnitude (Distance)
    Cheers.

    I had the same issue, Magnitude is the way to go subtract the player's X from the enemy's X and the player's Y from the enemy Y and that's the formula. Store that into an attribute within your enemy and call that "distance from" You're pretty much home free from there. Rule > attribute "distance from" is less than... say... 500, then KILL KILL KILL!!! I mean... spawn bullet...
