About a month ago i was looking for a script that allowed an enemy to face the player while standing still. I couldnt find one so i made one myself. It seems this could be usefull to others so im posting it here! This was the first script i wrote so it might need some extra cleaning up, and i dont think tempB is needed so you can try removing it. But it works! if the player is to the left the enemy will face the left, if the player is up the enemy will face up etc.
It can be used as a enemy action script or easily changed to be a subroutine and called whenever needed, the enemy can be stood still or moving!
