Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Posts: 215	I have an NPC that I want to follow Link's path, and I could do this by recording Link's position every few points if Link is moving and have the NPC go there. This is way more complicated than I would like it to be. Does anyone have suggestions for how this can be done? Logged

Edit: Here it is, I think: http://www.kousougames.co.uk/data/downloads/counter.php?file=Following It's GameMaker 6, but if you're using some other language and have GameMaker you could probably look at the technique anyways. « Last Edit: September 26, 2007, 12:17:09 am by OriZak » Logged
