Thanks Paul, that did it. Should have found that one myself really, but somehow I missed it.
I have another question though, if I use this code:

The monster will act right until I move the character out of it´s range, and for some reason it will then move over to the obstacle, and move around that for a while, until it removes the player from the target list.
Is there a way to wipe an entity´s target list manually? I don´t really want to do this, but it´s the only thing I can think of at this point. The reason I use "AI Add Obstacle From Level" is that in the main project the level file is too complex to define via the other commands.
Once again it could be a relatively easy thing I´m missing, but it might not.
I´ve tried manually forcing it to return to it´s idle point if it´s "Stopped" and still targeting object 5, but it doesn´t work - the entity will move towards it´s idle point for a few seconds, then return to the box.
Anyone have any info on this, is it a known bug, a result of some command I´m using, or? Also, despite having status as "moving forward", the object is still looking at the player entity as it slides towards the box, though I imagine that´ll be because he´s still its target, since after it drops the target and returns to it´s idle position (on it´s own), it´s once again looking the way it´s travelling.
Cheers all!
