Here’s a link to grazer’s example > **[Flowlab.io - Chase Example](https://flowlab.io/game/play/2111)** > > Use the arrow keys to move, and the enemy will chase. > > The enemy compares it own \*\*x\*\* and \*\*y\*\* position to the \*\*x\*\* and \*\*y\*\* position of the player, and uses the result to choose a direction. ---

You probably shouldn’t revive dead topics, this one was from over a year ago, instead you should create your own, new, topic. But, since you already revived it, I can try to help. Can I have a link to your game so I can check it out? ---

sorry about that but here it is anyway > **[Flowlab.io - The Great Sandwich (WIP)](https://flowlab.io/game/play/1849287)** > > Built with flowlab.io i have purple knights that are supposed to follow you but its not working (also sorry for reviving it i wasnt sure if i should) ---

Ok, so I took a look at your game, it looks like the proximity behavior isn’t selected to an object, all you have to do is go into the purple knight’s behavior click on the proximity behavior, and select “player” so it knows when the player gets close it will know to follow the player. This is inside of the Purple Knights behavior, what you should be changing. ![Untitled](https://community.flowlab.io/uploads/default/original/2X/0/0959b5b8fc6997b2f3901c129a7361ab5d9e12f1.png) ---

Also, are the knights supposed to be invisable??? ---

Yeah, no problem, just remember it’s better to create a new topic instead of bringing up dead ones, even if it’s about the thing. ---

Hi, please don’t revive topics, it clogs up the forums from the new topics. Please make a new topic instead. ---
