So, thats the first time i try to make an enemy in my life. Basically, i want it to have two "sight ranges" and if the player touches it, the enemy will change it state to the running state. Also, if the player is on a certain state (down state, that means hes falling) and it touches the hurtbox, it should kill it, just like in mario games. I don't know if thats the best way to make it (i mean, the sight boxes and etc), so i'm really accepting advices, suggestions and etc.

And heres the main question: How am i supposed to make the enemy detect the player's state when it enters the collision box? Signals?

(thats a only-learning purpose game, im priotizing learning instead of making a really good game cause thats not supposed to be played someday, im even using free assets!!)

if you want, you can have the hero send its state to all enemies it contacts with, and then they can send a signal to the hero on how to respond to that contact

#

for other things, like if you want monsters to ignore your hero while they're in a defensive stance, you can send that signal to enemies when you change state (or an enemy is spawned)

#

many ways to handle this

Oh makes sense since he doesn't need to jump to get velocity.y > 0 but needs to jump to get the state down

#

im just not sure how to pass informations from the player to the enemy script

#

m8 i'm missing something from the documentation

No, what I meant was making another hurtbox on its head that kills the enemie . So you don’t have to check the player’s state and can just kill the enemy when he enters that box
