Enemy running away from me!

cindy

Hi all ?!

What can I do to get an enemy to run away from me ??

I have tried:

var direction = player.global_transform.origin.direction_to( enemy.global_transform.origin )
var pos_target = enemy.global_transform.origin.move_toward( direction, 10 )

Sadly ? this is not working correcty. If I try to check the values, direction and pos_target have the same value ?.

Does someone know what is going on?

The last value 10 is too high. You probably want a small number like 0.2

lol, now it not moving at all ?. The value is the distance the enemy has to move, right? I tired a few and 10 seems to be a good value.

Maybe try this?

var direction = player.global_transform.origin.direction_to(enemy.global_transform.origin)
var pos_target = enemy.global_transform.origin + (direction * 10)

I think the issue is that move_toward expects a position in global space, rather than a relative position.
