monster shooting when player is close

nowherejay

Hello! long time no see forums!
ive got time again to work on gamesalad im trying to pick up where i left off....

well ive got some enemies that i want to shoot at the hero. for example, i have a bat that id like to drop projectiles on the hero when he is directly underneath the bat. also im trying to get my walking monster to shoot at the hero when he is on the same platform as the monster and relatively close by. how would i accomplish this? i think a magnitude behavior?

please help! and thank you for the help!

This should get you started

No problem, and yep when distance is < whatever, spawn bullet or whatever you want to do

cheers

ahhh thankyou! so you can use a magnitude function to find the distance, then use a rule that says *when player is 100 pixels away* shoot fireball. it should work that way right?
