Hello Scratchers!
I hope i don't interupt, but i need a little help with something…
I have a made a Pac-Man game but i need ghosts in my maze.
Just like in the game they have random direction, like they choose to go left, right, up or down.
I really don't know how to do this… I have searched tutorials, seek for answers, but no succes.
I have a script, but my ghosts glitch into the wall when it hits it.
Can you guys help me please?
Thank you

When a ghost goes to a position that it has to make a choice, it should pick a direction based on possible moves at that point.

Oh so i have to make the ghost make a decision when it touches like a point of a corner or crossway?

Yes, depending on the possible directions it can travel in. Because without this the ghost would travel into a wall! So by checking in which direction it can travel, the ghost will make a decision at random.

you can do the above or something like this

forever
move (x) steps
if <touching [wall] ?> then
point in direction (random - current_direction)
end
end

It's really complicated right now…
I'm gonna try and share it. Maybe you guys can say what i'm doing wrong and learn me something new! Is that ok?

I had the same problem so I made barely visibe sprites that followed the intersections and made a message every time the ghost touched it that told it its options but I could not figure out how to make the ghosts pick between is 2, 3, or 4 options? Hope it helps!
