need to make objects similar to pacman ghosts

Gdogg

need to make objects that follow the actor, similar to the pacman ghosts, im trying the x y coardinates on the player and ghost, ive got them stuck togther,,, and its not what i realy want, i need to make the ghost follow the player through a maze just like pacman, and ghost to be able to track the player, follow and destroy the player, anyone any ideas.. cheers

I don't think the pac man ghosts actually followed the player, they followed a pre-determined path. I'm sure you could do that kind of things with tables or way points. I have a way points tutorial at my website, linked in my signature if you want to check it out.

thanx jamie_c, Ive just played the original a few times, anyway my opinion, i don't think its pre determined, they actually follow your trail, it was chasing me before it destroyed me. thanx anyway.
