How to when i hit “A” it will follow a random enemy after 30 seconds or so it will stay at that direction and if another projectile follows the enemy but that enemy is destroyed how to make it follow another enemy ---

Alright, let me make sure I have the question right: 1. When you press A, fire a projectile 2. The projectile should follow a random enemy 3. If the enemy that the projectile is following is destroyed, start following a different enemy 4. After 30 seconds of following enemies, the projectile should stop following and fly off into the abyss Is that right? ---

You could compare the absolute x and y values of the enemies centered around the projectile
