hey,. this has... fixed video games. thank you
(I was using a much more limited plugin designed for MV and encountering Issues. this is exactly what I was looking for, fixed the issue I was dealing with, and honestly caused me to neaten up my code a bit while reorganizing things to get it all working nicely. my eternal thanks to you and your work)
Just what I was looking for, thank you so much! Is it possible to make it activate when it's facing the player in a straight line? So a combination of Facing and Orthogonal.
Roku, I've updated the plugin and added a "Facing in a Line" option.
Oh man, can't believe you did it and so fast, thanks so much!
Very cool!
Does this work with NPCs that follow a set movement path or is it for stationary only?
Davey,
It works with moving things as well. Note that the sensor only checks once (you have to set the event as a parallel process if you want it to check continuously), so I recommend you put your custom route in the sidebar instead of using the "Set Movement Route" event command.
