The player is controlling the princess, but the ninja needs to be programmed to be reactive and proactive in the fight. For example, she wants to make it so when the princess kicks, the ninja puts their arm up (like to block). How do I create an “if” statement based on a method? We tried using proximity functions, like when the princess’s foot is within “x” meters of the ninja to block, but it’s only working so-so. Is there a better way to do this?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Candy Round BTN","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Kathy Campau<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Candy Round BTN","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Technology Teacher, Richmond Middle School<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Candy Round BTN","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>2012 Macomb County Outstanding Middle School Teacher of the Year<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
