Enemy paths - based on difficulty

timcs

Hi,

I am looking to make a game which has one enemy and several player characters. If one of these characters changes their status, this will trigger an event countdown and if that characters status does not change, the enemy will head towards this character.

My thoughts are to make the enemy route to the character would differ depending on the difficulty set for the game. So even if the enemy and character in question were close by, the route from the enemies position to that said character would take longer if the difficulty was set to easy for example .

Also can character/enemy paths be designed manually around set objects and have several of these to be used within the game as well?

Can this be achieved in Godot?

Thank you

Godot has Astar built in which could be made to do all of that- but this whole idea you have for different pathing approaches- I'd skip it for now and just implement basic pathfinding unless you're already a pretty solid programmer. But to answer your question- yes- it can all be done in godot, with coding. W/o a lot of coding- I doubt it but am not 100%

You could probably set difficulty as a global state machine and use match to sync it up to different functions.

You could set random points around the map and make the enemy first go to a set amount of points before heading to the players.
