Curious why this doesn't work. Probably an obvious answer.

I hope this programming is clear and easy to follow. I'm trying to learn what is going on here so I can better my MMF skills. Basically, I'm trying to make a somewhat turn-based system here. When you press left or right, the AI makes the green active decide to move towards you or wait, based off a simple roll. The thing is, no matter what I try, I can't get it to automatically wait if you are right next to the green active when you move. It says it should wait (based off the alterable string) but it doesnt. It just follows right in your footsteps. Any idea why? I've tried so many approaches and cant seem to figure it out.

Left/Right: move
1/2: move 3 spaces.

The "wait" alterable string is set only if the player and enemy are next to each other. If you move away from the enemy, then that's no longer true and the "command" will change to move left/right and then executed. Easiest way to fix this would probably be to set AltValA of enemy to 2 when he's next to player, that would make him "skip" his next move. But that would depend on what you are planing to do with that value later(maybe it will be used to time attack or something like that).

Ah, now I see it. Thanks! Setting the value to 2 probably won't work for what I'm trying.
