I have an enemy that moves across the screen and when it reaches a limit, it moves down the screen a little and reverses direction similar to space invaders. Similar to space invaders I want several enemies to move together, so if the first enemy reaches the limit the n the second and third enemy move down the same amount as the first enemy and reverse direction. So how can I make one enemy control update properties of the other two?
Actually I can't even achieve this! I figured it would be straightforward to have something move left until it collided with a wall and reverse its direction until it hits the wall on the right and again reverses.
Connect the enemies to a parent object. Use position animation for left, right and downwards. Set up so its switches for the left to the right and back again
Thank you. That seems to be getting me closer, but not quite having the desired effect: So just trying to get one enemy to go left and right... I have a move x -3 setup when the game starts and the enemy moves towards the left wall. I added an 'if collides' so when it hits the left wall it fires the 'position animation' which seems to make it bounce off the wall at a greater speed than it was going, and then depending on the value I put in x it moves right for a while before moving left. How do I keep it going right without it reverting? And is it possible to keep its speed as it is? I'd then add a collides to the right wall with another position animation to send it back.
All I'm really trying to do is when an enemy collides with a wall object is update its Move X value and position Z value as follows: Move X= Move X * -1 Position Z = Position Z + 1 Sounds simple, but I'm beginning to feel needs to be coded and I wouldn't know where to start.
Thank you! That gets me very close to the desired effect. Not sure I'd have ever come up with that on my own.
