Up to this point I've been basically focusing all my time on getting my artwork into a segment pack I can use to make my entire set of game levels. This has gone very well. This weekend I focused on getting some more enemies into FPSC. I thought It was a success until I put two enemies in the same room. What I'm frustrated with is the fact that only one enemy will attack at a time. If I put 3 in, it’s worse. I hope this isn't a limitation of FPSC, because it’s going to be a pretty boring game if you only can fight one enemy at a time. This thing seems to sway from letting you think you have the world by the tail to being b*tch slapped in a matter of seconds. The worst is you never hear from TGC at all! They were here commenting continuously just before V1 was released, now after we get it, Cricket noises. Sorry for my anger, it's not meant toward anyone in particular, sometimes you just need to vent you know? I guess programming is the answer, I realise You can't expect miracles from a click together game maker.

Check the scripts that you are using for the bots. You may want to try a different script and perhaps adjust some parameters to improve their behaviour.

and try giving them different scripts...

sometimes if an AI is using the same script as another AI, you get results like you described.

Yeah, I think I need to write my own custom scripts to make them do what I expect them to do. Also I'm only using 5 of the animation indexes, I don't need all of them listed in the fpe's. That might improve performance eliminating uneeded animation processing.
