Well a very good outline for doing enemy AI to avoid bugs is doing a switch statement. So you would have something like:

+ Code Snippet

switch (mode)
{
     case 0://Walk to player
     {
          //walking code
     };break;
     
     case 1://Attack player
     {
          //attacking code
     };break;
     
     case 2://Die
     {
          //dieing code
     };break;
}

Then lets say you want the enemy to move to the player after falling off a building or something. All you have to do is this:

+ Code Snippet

mode = 0;

You will obviously have to fill in the comments but that gives you a good outline on how all AI should look like. There is of course other alternatives but doing this method avoids a lot of bugs because the object (enemy) can only do one of those case statements at once no matter what.
