hello

ive made a stage that uses a platform ive used a platform and not a wall
so when the player falls of the platform is image stays behind the platform or in front depending on the falling point (moving up or down)

but i iam having trouble spawning enemies on top of the platform
when they spawn their AI behaves weird... moving in circles like
they had a wall in front of them... and they cant seem to follow the player...

also the enemy's image appears in front of the player like they had
a setlayer of +50

example:
plat.jpg



anyone know whats keeping the enemy from moving
on top of the platform like it was a wall stage

if i use wall the enemy behaves normal but the entity they are on top of gets its setlayer out of sync... and starts appearing in front of the entities and it gets impossible to get a (fall behind) from the upper side with
the player image behind the platform entity!!!

I'm afraid you have to use a wall instead.

The platform, unless you use setlayer, will make entities above it display in a fixed layer. It was designed to display small objects like barrels or boxes, or a 2D stage like contra which doesn't need to sort the entities.

thanks for the reply

ive just removed the platform and used wall
but the enemy keeps moving up when he lands on top of the wall

i dont know how to explain this...
ive already made another level before this one were the entities fight on top of a wall with a hole under it... and everything worked fine...

now ive made the same thing with this level but the enemies dont attack the player its like they keep moving up when they reach the middle of the wall...
i cant make any sense of it...

I don't know if this is the problem.

But try to use positive values instead to see if it is fixed. You can always change the first 2 number to adjust position anyway.

it dindnt worked...
the enemy behaves normal if i set the wall altitude to 115
but its a low altitute for the entity their on top of... also other carr0 entities are smaller and lower... when i reach carr04 i cant get an altitude... ive been changing the carr0 off sets and removed the platform so the player falls behind it...

but its much more dificult this way... than just give the carr0 its normal altitude depending on its sprite gif

ive also tried to set the enemy subtype to chase with the wall altitude of 215 and is AI started to behave normal following and attacking the player
