Hi, I'm making a game and basically, the player is in a room with loads of enemies coming at him, but they are coming one at a time.
How do I get the enemy (object 3) to move towards the player (Object 1) while moving along a flat matrix.

Basically, all I want to know is how to make objects move from where they start and follow the player until they hit them.

Am I confusing you too much? Either post the answer to my question or post a message saying that I'm a complete and utter loonatic who doesn't know what he's saying.

If I were you, I'd make a game...

also you will need to find the x,y,z coords of the player, so either store the players coords into variables, or use the object position x(), object position y(), and object position z() functions

You can of course lock the enemy to only moving on the x and z axis, for that you point object to the player, move it, and add this after those steps:

position object <enemy>,object position x(<enemy> ),<position y>,object position z(<enemy> )

This makes it so the enemy will not float in the air when you go up onto things, but stick to the ground.
