I'm making an overhead tank game and I need to find a way to get the enemy tanks to move by themselves. It specifically needs to look for the player sprite in the maze and shoot by it's self.

Does anyone know how to do this?

You can set the maze walls as solid and use Pathfinding. For example: On start of layout -> Tank find path to Player.X, Player.Y

Tank On path found -> Move along path

And then just add a line of sight to the tank, and when it has line of sight to the Player, rotate turret to Player.X, Player.Y by 10 pixels or so every 0.2 seconds.

I recommend you look into the Construct example game for this, found when making a new project.
