How can I get an object to follow the player object? We would like to have an animal follow our character around when it is hit by a charming attack. It is for a platformer game. We don't have any jumping mechanic, so the animal would just have to follow the main character across platforms and up either ramps or ladders.

A simple way for TGE is the .setMoveDestination(%playeryouwanttofollow); and keep rescheduling it. Allthough like Lee said navigating obstacles is tougher.

Thanks for the replies. I'm using TGB, Lee. Does .setMoveDestination(%playeryouwanttofollow) work for TGB as well Christian?

Sorry, i've never used TGB. Hoefully someone else will know that one.

Presumeably we're talking about a bot, essentially, here. The tricky bit would be navigating obstacles...but again that would depend on whether we're talking 2d or 3d. 2d, you might get away with A* path finding or something like that.
