fskh let me see if I can find that Piranha Plant tutorial thing Draco made since this is basically the inverse of it

EDIT: well, maybe not
EDIT 2:

(the equations work off of the hotspot of the enemy and player so take that into consideration)

Non-directional version

CODE

Directional version

CODE

Always
--> Set Alterable Value X of "Enemy" to: Abs( X( "Enemy" ) - X( "Player" ) )
--> Set Alterable Value Y of "Enemy" to: Abs( Y( "Enemy" ) - Y( "Player" ) )

Alterable Value X of "Enemy" ≤ to ( X distance you want, positive value )
+ Alterable Value Y of "Enemy" ≤ to ( Y distance you want, positive value [for their "field of vision"])
+ X position of "Enemy" < X position of "Player"
+ "Enemy" is facing a direction: ( --> )
--> Whatever they do when they can see you

Alterable Value X of "Enemy" ≤ to ( X distance you want, positive value )
+ Alterable Value Y of "Enemy" ≤ to ( Y distance you want, positive value [for their "field of vision"])
+ X position of "Enemy" > X position of "Player"
+ "Enemy" is facing a direction: ( <-- )
--> Whatever they do when they can see you

Alterable Value X of "Enemy" > to ( your specified X distance )**
--> Whatever they do when they can't see you

Alterable Value Y of "Enemy" > to ( your specified Y distance )**
--> Whatever they do when they can't see you

EDIT 3: Ignore the Y events for now until I figure out what I'm doing

EDIT 4: Sorry I can't get the Y's to work even though I'm setting them up exactly like the X's, so you'll have to figure something out there

EDIT 5: Okay I figured it out

EDIT 6: Watch someone come up with a simpler version

** these two events need to be separate

As far as my experimentation goes it works with multiple enemies, I'll work on one that requires them to be looking in your direction to see you

AV's X and Y are just example letters so you can use others if you want

EDIT 7: Hopefully the last edit. Fixed a bug in the Directional version that sometimes made them "see" you if they were looking in the opposite direction, and not see you if they were looking in your direction. wtf that's what I get for initially testing it with small distances
