Game Maker: Line of sight

http://www.freewebs.com/stevmay09/

please go to my website for more tutorials in drag and drop, and coding basics.

this tutorial explains how to make advanced computer ENEMY AI. the enemy moves along a path that you can customize, and shoots bullets ONLY when your standing in front of it. if you touch a bullet, you die, andthe room restarts.

this tutorial uses no coding whatsoever! just pure drag and drop. unlike my other tutorials, but, i'm now using D&D more often in my tutorials. expect the next tutorial to be in D&D too!

this video was originally 15:30 long, but i had to edit it, in order to make it small enough to upload to YouTube.
that's why there are little skips in the video every once and a while, and that you don't see me type as much.

thi'll work perfectly for any scrolling shooters, spy games, or, just about anything that's in a top-down view =)

The video response is my next tutorial, PATHS

[ElectaGuitar]

you said if you want a different enemy, you have to make a seperate path, but! thats why games dont take 5 minutes to complete :P

[Stevmay09]

yea. thats why i use more advanced features in GM pro. i never ever use paths

[atz1998]

The path dosen't work or I dont get how it works!

[Stevmay09]

are you in advanced mode?

you just click on the button with the white block on it, at the top of the window. then, you just click where you want it to go

[atz1998]

No I just don't get HOW to MAKE paths.

I'm in advanced mode,yup!

[Stevmay09]

i could make a path tutorial, and add it as a video response.
