Trying to Make a Stealth Base Game (Enemy AI Help)

[Yaustedia]

Hi ya'll, first post I guess. I just had a question regarding AI for enemies.

I want to make a stealth based game and have the same idea as Metal Gear had on the NES, where the monster will have a specific pattern of moving until a player is seen causing them to move towards the player at all cost. if anyone could help me out on this thank you so much!

You're fine, I already have a way to get the player to follow the enemy if caught as well as the easier pattern stuff... willing to share that code when I get back to my computerso I can share it

This isn't something I need right now, just something I've been thinking about. For an adventure game to have a stealth section, it needs enemies that recognize when the player is standing in front of them. I feel like I've absorbed enough of the NES programming language that I should be able to...

I don't think this script is complete. Also don't know which version it's for, but its good to mess around with anyways.

I did something like this, basic idea was first I snapped enemy movement to the collision grid, ie 16x16. Then every frame I'd run a line of sight check in front and to the sides of them, checking each tile to see if it was solid. When it hit a solid, I'd check the rectangle from the enemy to that solid block and see if the player was in that rectangle. If they were, I'd make the enemy run in that direction. Might be a bit advanced if it's your first time doing assembly stuff.

Once they were alerted I had it checking all four directions so they could chase the player around but it was too hard so I just made them keep running until they hit a wall.
