(fixed)zombie with colliosion line doesnt work

[stepup2000]

//step step
var view_distance = 800;
var tx = x+lengthdir_x(view_distance,direction);
var ty = y+lengthdir_y(view_distance,direction);
if (collision_line(x,y,tx,ty,obj_player,true,false)) {
if (collision_line(x,y,obj_player.x,obj_player.y,obj_wall,true,false)) = noone {
state = 2
}
}
else {
state = 1
instance_destroy(obj_interest_point)
instance_create_depth(obj_player.x, obj_player.y, 1, obj_interest_point)
}

// begin step

if state = 2 {

image_angle = point_direction(x,y,obj_player.x, obj_player.y);
mp_potential_step(obj_player.x, obj_player.y, 1, false)
}
}
if state = 1 {
speed = 0
}

i want the enemy to follow the player when he is looking directly at the player and there is no wall in between them. but for some reason it doesnt work. state = 2 is chasing the player

What is obj_man in this scenario?

Oh I’m sorry I changed that to try something obj man was the player. But I changed the code it’s correct now. I still don’t understand why it doesn’t work tho

After you see the player, the zombie performs one more check to see if there is also a wall. In the wall check code, you check all the way to tx, ty. What if the wall is behind the player?

Oh you are right. it works now! i also changed one of the "else" actions because it was in the wrong place . thank you for your help!
