How to make a fighter to chase another fighter?
It will be very helpful if someone can post a tutorial link or an pseudo code or even better a basic code to play with. :)

Thanks!

Fighter 2 will be chasing figher 1

Hi KillerX,
I can't check your code yet (I am away from PC with Blitz3D installed) but thanks for your time.
I'll let you know.

I checked you code. This is a good start to dive in a fighter logic but I will need for sure a more complicated and smarter chasing algorithm.
Thanks again!
