I can't figure out how to make it where a flying enemy is just sitting there, and then when you get in range it flys over and tries to ram into you. Any ideas? I had an impractical idea where I attach the enemy to a piston, and then once you get in range a sensor motor makes the piston push the enemy to a point where I think your character would be at the time. I would like something more convenient, however.

I've made little creatures which use several jets and proxy switches to target a sackperson and fly towards them. The body of the creature is made up of peach floaty to counteract the weight of the jets. I've published a quick level where the aim is to destroy as many of them as you can to gain points, if you want to try them out . I've set the radius of the proxies to the max but if you shink it down a bit, the creature will remain stationary in the air untill a sackboy enters the radius. Just send me a PSN message and i'll send you one if you want. (I might take some time to reply 'cause my PS3 has overheated and I'm going on holiday soon)

Thanks for the idea. What's the name of the level?

There is a tutorial, I forget who did it, but it is called the "Tracking Canon" I think. That principle may work for you Ted

Thanks for the idea. What's the name of the level? 'Locust maze'. If I get my ps3 back before I go on holiday I'll put one as a prize in my vault level in its own little section for you .

The easiest thing is either a rail system (weak stiff pistons that hold your creature at the desired angle and using rockets for propulsion or something involving a hidden balloon offscreen that your creature is suspended from.

I tried tracking cannon and now I'll try the Locust Maze. By the way, I was able to make a prototype of a flying enemy using ROGUE's idea. It looked...alright but not too great, but now that I know what to do I'll make some better ones.
