Godot 2D How To Add Enemy AI

[@RaraD23Youtube]

This video is the best video I found on enemy ai. Every other one has some reference to something they made in a different video. But this one is can be followed no matter how your game is. This tutorial makes simple enemy ai that can have many other things added to it. I'd like to see a more advanced version at a different date but it doesn't matter that much. Thanks for making this video. It has saved me from redoing my script several more times. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks! This means a lot.

idk why comments say volume is low I can hear just fine. thanks for the tutorial btw

[@BenjaminGameDesign]

I thought so too when editing it, but if they say it's too low, I'll raise it a bit. Thanks for the comment!

[@supjay3945]

I thought it was ok on my ear buds. Im usually the one complaining. It could use a few notches turned up I guess.

[@savmass]

Great tutorial. Thank you for being so thorough. I tried to replicate this in 3D but I noticed that even though I had other collisionshape like walls, the enemy seems to clip through them. I'm sure the same would happen if it's 2D as well since it is using the same principles.

[@legosanimations4517]

Awesome video mate, one thing tho, it must be on my end, but when I interact with the enemy's collision shape (the big circle) with my player it just pushes it away. Advice would be greatly appreciated!

[@BenjaminGameDesign]

As in, it gets pushed away from it because it collided or because it is running away?

[@legosanimations4517]

@@BenjaminGameDesign When i enter the collision circle, it doest chase, it just moves away or closer in one direction

[@legosanimations4517]

depending on which side I enter

[@BenjaminGameDesign]

Hmm, in my video titled I PARTICIPATED IN A GAME JAM!!! In the description, there is a link to my Twitter. If you could send me a video on there, that would be great.

@@BenjaminGameDesign I don't use twitter myself, do you happen to have a discord? Or should I make an account there?

The volume is low, but thanks for the guide!

[@BenjaminGameDesign]

Sorry about the audio, but I'm glad you liked the guide.

[@SaucinStudio]

wow fantastic!!!!! it worked exactly as it did in your video a million thanks!!!

[@PringlesA]

Awesome video, man! I can hear you well, unlike some comments might suggest. I do have a question, is there any way to stop the enemy from "floating" and going through ground to catch you?

[@BenjaminGameDesign]

I'm unsure what you mean. If you are having problems with collisions, you should look at the collision layers and masks.

[@PringlesA]

@BenjaminGameDesign I think I fixed it, actually, but I really appreciate your incredibly fast response!

[@BenjaminGameDesign]

Do you mind commenting how incase other people have the same issue.

[@bulbachu1327]

Hi! I’m having the same problem. How did you fix it?

[@minx-fractor]

@@PringlesA how did u fix pls tell us

[@bodie5383]

my enemy freezes in random places, even areas without collision. like my enemy follows the player until it randomly stops, almost like there is invisible barrier preventing it from moving closer

[@SethRuh]

i deeply appreciate this video my man

[@BrandonTheOverthinker]

I spent over an hour trying to sort out an enemy ai from a tutorial that wasn't even how I wanted it to be. This worked first try and suits my needs so thank you.

[@callisto-games]

How do I add wall collisions to the enemy so it doesn't just fly through the walls?

[@space.d.]

project settings - 2d physics layers name the layers depending on the entities or object of collision - layer 1: player, layer 2: enemy, layer 3: walls etc. - click inside the enemy scene -> characterbody2d if chosen, go to inspector -> collision -> click the layers as you need -> in that case layer 2 = enemy (hover over it and you can see it, as you named it in the settings accordingly) -> mask equals what it can and cannot collide with - choose mask 3 as its named walls now and if the enemy and the walls have a collision2d node attached as child, the enemy will collide with the walls and should not travel through infinity :)

[@lay2BH]

Could you help with having the enemy call the function Flip() if the player's direction is equal to -1? Thank you for any help or tips.

[@Acey4k]

how would i change this up if it was for a platformer game? It chases me into the air on a platformer game

[@hsjwvs]

please make more videos like these

[@antii4475]

in case of fellow idiots, for enemy collision add the move and slide to their code.

[@minx-fractor]

the enemy is cliiping through floor what should I do?

[@bleunny]

@@minx-fractor you should do colliders search for Other vidéos 👌🏾

[@VanshSingh-p2c]

Bro it does not works for me please help

[@R2robot]

Super low volume.. Even with my ear buds in, I have to turn it up to 8 or 9/10.. and then get blasted by system notifications. Ouch!

[@ghostgaimin47]

idk if its my bad pc or if they changed something in the last update but i cant find the DetectionArea node, is there any other way of doing the player detection part?

[@danielkelly-hj1wm]

Just called Area2D but I think he renamed it

You must've messed up some + and - somewhere

[@necrotafeio]

not working, enemy wont move

[@OceaniaAirline]

Mine flys away from me :/

[@walterallred]

I was able to follow the tutorial with the audio muted so not sur why everyone tripping on the audio. I got this working but I'm not a huge fan of the enemy motion. If it's following me and I stop it gradually gets slower and slower until it's directly on top of the player.

[@BenjaminGameDesign]

That's a weird issue. I never encountered this. If you manage to fix this, please comment how so others can see.

[@user-rr1ly]

same did you fix it?
