Enemy Question

[CADMAN]

I have a game like the old "Asteroids" from the 70s - My ship is in the middle of the screen and moves around...

Question: How do I make an Enemy who will follow my ship around? Like a heat-seeking missile.

Thank you for your help.

use "active object" properties \movement \ change static for bouncing ball
and get it to look at players ship in event editor

quick example here

Thanks bubba_damage!

I have one more challenge for you. Do you know a way to give the enemy a "bungee" like movement? Such as, the enemy is going to fast and over shoots the player then slows down and has to redirect back toward the player? Kind of like a rubber-band effect.

Thanks again!

heres a very basic example using the pinball movement and overlay redux object, but i havnt figured the swing movement someone else can help with that, and the overlay redux transperancy i havnt figured out so i couldnt see a backdrop in background.

but hey heres the link for me example

Have you tried the direction calculator?
