a question about enemy ai's

[nanocon]

i want tomake a platformer fighting game but when ever i try to make the enemysthey look like there kinda being controled by an idiot ,all i know who to do is make them move towards u and attack (left arm attack right arm attack head ability) but i want them to be a little chalenging and a joy to fight its a thing where you fight in mathes not in a gigantic world
so thats why i dont use a that basic ai i said earlier other wise i would but ya neeed em to be at least a little bit smart

Basically, if you have multiple enemies, you want them to work together. If you have one enemy, you want it to avoid attacks while still trying to kill you. As long as the game is enjoyable and the graphics are good, most people won't notice AI.

thanks but like i said i dont know how to do any of that (its my first game) but yes that is what i want em to do as well i in some matches you'd have a partner so id need it to work togather with u to and some times they'd get shooting abilitys and others sword and others stuff like invisablity.also i find games that have great grafics but lousy ai's get boring pretty quick

I don't know if you read this post anymore but like i pointed out in the PM's about the links read them watch them and study them. Also going to a site called http://active.tutsplus.com/ and goto tutorials AS3-101 and just read about action scripting you can learn it with time, it can take time and effort but your game idea is strong and takes a bit of work. You could start by knowing simply how to move a character or how to make him jump with gravity.. How to use inventory, just the basics first.. Start by being in the shallow end before swimming over to the deep end.. I wish you the BEST of luck with this :)
