How to get an enemy to go to a location and then return.

Questions & Answers
1

I’m creating a 2D top-down game and I want a certain type of enemy to come out of a hole to attack the player and then return when they miss the player. (The enemies are one shot killers.) I have a basic idea for what I want to happen, but I don’t know how to code it. I want the enemy to come out of hiding when the player reaches a certain area around it, head in the player’s direction, and then smoothly return to it’s hiding spot. I can’t find anything for coding this type of behavior.,

Good day.

You are asking different things. So go step by step.
Learn to do this things:

Create an object during runtime (Instantiate())

Move an Object to specific direction

Detect when 2 objects are closer than X distance

Make an object decide what to do depending on some variables (like the distance)

Create a bullet

Make the bullet to move to target

Make the bullet to kill or take health from the target

Destroy an object (die)

–

STEP BY STEP!

Once you control all of this, you only need to compile all togather in the correct order and configuration!

Good luck!
