Game Dev Journey

Enemies follow a similar structure to the Player

So start by duplicating the Player scene

Enemy doesn't need UI

Enemy doesn't need Camera2D

Delete them

Detach the script from Player Node

Diconnect the animation_finished() signal

On the AnimatedSprite2D

Go through all the animations

Delete the Frames

NOT the animation names

Go through all the animations

Replacing them with the assets

from the Mobs => Cactus folder

Rename the root node to Enemy

Add a Timer node to the enemy

Set the timer to autostart

Add a script to the Enemy

Save it as enemy.gd in the scripts folder

Now connect the Timeout signal of the timer to the script

ENEMY SCRIPT

The enemy will need a reference to the Player

Create an onready variable for this

Create some variables to track

the enemy stats

When the enemy is wandering the map

we want to randomly change direction

create variables for this

Code the timeout method of the Timer

find the distance between the player and enemy

if in range, turn towards the player

if too far from the player

start moving towards them

if player is not nearby

start wandering in a random direction

Now code the physics process

so that if enemy collides

with an obstacle

it turns and moves in a random

direction
