How to make enemy face player.

[untold olive]

let's start with step zero; how are you making the enemy recognise the player?

I was going to use the get_node thing.

But to be honest I just wanted to start with the enemy constantly looking at the player.

Then follow the player.

Then detect the player when in view.

i assume this is a top down game

[dusky lake]

Yeah hotline miami style.

[stable mountain]

you can use look_at(player_node)

[dusky lake]

Oh that simple?

No player.position?

[stable mountain]

just a sec

oh mb. it is look_at(player_node.global_position)

and to get teh player you can use a unique name or a group

I'll have a go at it tomorrow.
Thankyou.

If it doesn't work I'll come back here.

Oh and one more thing.

For the enemy should I use a character2d node or kinematic2d node?

[untold olive]

in which case, look_at is your best friend,
also good thing nightfall already helped you out (i was helping someone else)

[untold olive]

character2d

[dusky lake]
