This is pretty complicated, so I’m making a silly dungeon crawler and I’d like to have an enemy that, when it hits a wall, redirects itself towards the player and tries again until it dies. Now, the code that I’m using works for only one enemy at a time, the other one just doesn’t move. I think that I could fix this by using an “On created sprite of kind” block, but I can’t find out a way to do this without having every enemy do the same thing, can anyone help? (Using sprite util btw if that’s important)

I’m not sure if this helps, but you can define additional sprite kinds to help you keep track of different enemies.

If you need to keep track of a piece of data per sprite, you could use the `arcade-sprite-data` extension.
