Script enemy chases player

redburn · March 5, 2013

Hi,

I need a help guys, can someone make me a simple script, where the enemy on the map chases the player wherever he moves?

I tried some but I did not do anything, I have not been doing anything wrong, could you help me with this please?

[] spawn {
	while {alive player} do {
	sleep 30;

		{_x move (position player)} forEach (allGroups select {((side _x) getFriend (side player)) < 0.6});

	};
};

This is a great script that will spawn in a group and chase players.

This function does exactly that: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_stalk

Define your desired group :

Keeping steady numbers is good for performance.

I was trying your Script, at the beginning if they appear in several areas, but not as the game progresses they keep appearing in the same place they appeared the first time, and they do not follow you wherever you go, they only go to the point where You started in the game.

Here only change the name for other sqf script and the time of spawn the units:

//initServer.sqf

thanks @GEORGE FLOROS GR,

Now if the Script is working, I've done tests teleportandome to several places and it works well, now I just need to be able to customize the ability of the AI to adjust it to the players and not be so expert.
