How do I get enemy to run away from player ?

normalize the vector from player to enemy

Thanks for your reply .

Sorry if this a dumb question , but can please you explain to me what do you mean by that ?

so like when you normalize a vector between two points (player and enemy) you get a value for X and a value for Y and X+Y = 1 dont ask me how or why im a dummy but by using that you can give the character a target move to position relative to away fro mthe player where u multiply the distance of 1 to the distance you want because X and Y = 1 so it will be the correct distance and the correct angle and u can make it walk good so it'S awesome and u get correct X and Y positions to move to

Thanks a lot for explications .

Still trying to wrap my head around , iam quite the dummy myself .

So i should the use distance(player.X,player.Y,ennemy.X,Ennemy.Y) to get the distance ?

Again thanks for the answers .

basically if you want the enemy to be 100 units away from the player, u normalize the vector between them, and u will get like, for example, x = 0.7 and y = 0.3

0.7 + 0.3 = 1

you want the enemy to be 100 units away

x = 0.7 x 100

y = 0.3 x 100

or something like that and it will move away from u like magic.

to get X and y you do like (player.x + enemy.y) / distance(thingsgohere) and same for Y and u get ur two x and y to multiply the distance by or whatever

I think that'S how it works ???? and u get ur target move to location

Thanks you

I think i understand , i will test it and see .

Thanks for your answers .

Hello again everyone,

So i guess a got the general idea(Still strugling with the math aspect) not working

here what i went with but it still not working.

try figuring out where it fails! Debugging skills !! is it moveto? spawn a sprite and set it'S position to the move to target on every tick, see what happens !!!

I managed to figure it with a lot of help from other people .

i got the result i want using this

Thanks for your help

That last post reads like something out of a Clive Barker novel, but not as well written :)

Hahaha XD. Even better, some artwork to accompany the story :)
