Enemy patrolling and chasing player

[JesusMiguel1]

Enemy guard:

• enemy patrolling between check points
• Chase player if in range
• stop and attack player if in range (Needs animation and apply damage)

TO DO:

• Player apply damage to enemy in one hit

great job, here are my improvement requests / suggestions:

cleanliness issues:

• camera_3d.tscn needs a home (folder)
• naming conventions:
  • enemy_guard.tscn
  • scene names in PascalCase : Weak_Point -> WeakPoint, left_checkpoint -> LeftCheckPoint
• suggestion: group multiple objects of the same type under a common parent node:

  |- EnemyGuards
  | - EnemyGuard
  | - EnemyGuard2
  | - ...

i see you found a way to provide a globally accessible reference of the player object using the group feature. pretty cool, i learned something. (another way is project settings -> globals , just fyi)

game logic issues ( I will add those as separate issues after the merge):

• guards can push player off the x-axis

  • how can we prevent that?

    • suggestion: CharacterBody3D->PhysicsBody3d->Axis Lock

• checkpoints are currently "hard-coded" into the enemy_guard.tscn

  • we need a way for level designers to place them freely around the level?

other issues:

• why does enemy_guard.tscn have a light?

  • directional light for every guard? it will apply to the whole level ...
  • what is this code trying to do? left over test code?

    weak_point.gd : 
    func _on_body_entered(body):
    emit_signal("area_entered", body) # <-- this seems odd to me.
    print("Body entered: ", body.name)

i will leave it here, i wish i had time to look more closely into the logic of enemy.gd but it seems to work nicely

another suggestion: since you like using debug print statements, in godot you can also use push_error("my error") and push_warning("...")
