I need a zombie AI system that has my zombie move towards the player if close, and be able to jump if needed.
I have the zombie move in one direction, but I need it to be able to move in both directions.
Thanks!

first question before I make code that should work, what’s the game style, you mentioning jump I assume left to right like my games and the tutorials and Mario, but I need to know this before I can help.
Just so you know these games are known as Platformer Games.
Also @Truce2017 you could make 2 raycasts pointing left and right and if one of those raycasts hits the player then the zombie goes in that direction. I would screenshot the code for this but my school blocked flowlab

If your doing a platformer, theres a tutorial video on enemies like that.
I had an idea but the zombie can’t jump.
Here is the code:
The raycasts check to hit the player, and if it does, it moves in that direction.
If none do, it stands still.
But I also need the zombie to be able to jump up a block if the player is on high ground.

There are a few things you could try, you could add another ray cast which is shorter for blocks Infront of them giving off a jump, or you could find some other way because the monster might be stuck jumping if infront of a block. Also I recommend a wandering zombie.
I would make an example to make a better version but as of right now I have no access to Flowlab.
OK,
I’ll try again with a different code.
Coding is very strict.

To do this make the same thing as the player raycast check but replace the raycasts checking for the player with “any” and use a XOR to exclude any entities. Then make the number make the zombie jump.
Ok, I’ll try it!

For the 20 characters you can make this:
< sdfklghsdfgkjhdsfglkshdfg > but with no spaces. This works because the forums thinks it is an embedded link (I think) and makes it invisible
oh, ok thats cool!

You kinda messed it up, there should be no spaces in-between the “<” and the “>” I added in the spaces for an example. Also it doesn’t have to be exactly the same as mine you can put anything between the “<” and the “>”.
OK
