A shooter is an enemy that fires a
projectile. Shooting patrollers and
chasers will fire at the player once
they ’ ve been spotted. Due to the
nature of the attack, this enemy
will try to keep distance between
itself and the player rather than
engage them.
They All Want You Dead 285
A guard is an enemy whose AI priority is to guard an item or location (like a
doorway) rather than actively pursue the player. Guard behavior can be
easily combined with chasing or shooting if the player manages to steal the
item or get past the guard.
A fl yer is an enemy that, well … flies.
They are aerial patrollers but because
the flying adds another dimension
(literally) to the movement, they
deserve their own classification.
Flyers can swoop down to attack
players or you can have them fire
projectiles from a safe distance.
Flyers are more advanced enemies,
as their movement and attack
patterns are more difficult for the
player to predict. Players trying to
attack flyers usually stop to target or
make a jump attack.
