this code is supposed to be enemy movement done right but when i use it in my code is say "divide by zero in (line num)" does anyone know the problem?

That code doesn't work if X==X2. The same with Y and Y2.

I guess that the purpose of this code is an enemy's constant speed approach to a player. The denominator of this code stands for the distance between a player and an enemy. When divide by zero error occurs, an enemy has already collided with a player.

You should replace both two denominators with the following code. SQR(POW(X2-X,2)+POW(Y2-Y,2))

ok thank you. ill tell you if this works

Write as follows in order to kill divide by zero error. D=SQR(POW(X2-X,2)+POW(Y2-Y,2)) IF D>0 THEN X2=X2+(X2-X)/D:Y2=Y2-(Y2-Y)/D The following code is another solution. D=SQR(POW(X2-X,2)+POW(Y2-Y,2)) IF D>0 THEN A=ATAN(Y-Y2,X-X2) X2=X2+COS(A):Y2=Y2+SIN(A) ENDIF

thank you very much btw! but i have one more question, i would like to make the enemy sprite follow my sprite realistically, i have done this before but it dosent seem to be working now. so basically the enemy sprite homes in on the middle of the screen where the player is.

I overlooked suspicious points. Could you replace X2=X2+(X2-X)/D:Y2=Y2+(Y2-Y)/D with X2=X2+(X-X2)/D:Y2=Y2+(Y-Y2)/D ? An enemy will LEAVE a player with the former code.

thank you!
