magnitude with actors

rollo

Hi there GS members,
I am creating a game where there are two armies. I need help with magnitude. I figured out how tell the distance between two actors, but for my game there will be many enemies and heroes. I would like them to attack(move) towards the nearest enemy. Does anyone know how to do this with multiple actors. Here is a game where this happens

Hey there,

Check out this template I just whipped together. It's based on the X axis. It can be made to be more accurate, but I was running short on time.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Can anyone help?

Thank you! I was starting to lose hope. I do have one question for you though. In the template is the warrior attacking the nearest enemy to it or the nearest enemy to the back?

Glad it helped.
Right now it's not very "accurate". The warrior attacks the enemy that is closest to the left side of the screen.

Yah thats what I thought. Is there any way to make it attack the person closest to it? If not thats cool too
