2D enemy flips like paper?

relenting_1

I'm currently working on making a 2D top down real time battle rpg. However when my player aggros the enemy it begins to flip like a piece of paper when moving to the target. Is there something I'm missing in the Hunt AI or on the combatant to keep it from being all Paper Mario-like?

Any help will be much appreciated! =]

The enemy is trying to face the player. ORK's enemy AI follow stuff wasn't made in mind for 2D; I'd probably recommend rolling your own solution if this was a sidescroller, but since it's top-down you might manage to get by, by adding a script to the sprite object of that enemy that locks its rotation in the orientation you want. That way the character controller will still turn, but the sprite will appear unaffected.

Make sure you don't use any of the rotation options, e.g. Face Direction in movement steps, or the Reset Look Angles option in the battle event's settings.

I't seems the problem is in the simpleMove AI that is automatically added to the combatant. Also I noticed that not only is it rotating it is following a small white box that appears and heads towards it in all directions.

All I want this enemy to do is find my player within a range and walk to him to attack. I've removed all except the Sprite Renderer, Animator, Rigidbody 2D, and the Box Collider 2D on my enemy GameObject just to redo combatants AI. Hopefully I figure this out and I'll post my solution when I do.

Question, is there a easier method if I use the NavMesh option just so the enemy walks anywhere on the mesh and if the player is near walk towards him and attack?

Thanks for the Tips!

Easy solution: don't use the Move AI :) Or if you want to use it, use a custom movement component that doesn't rotate the game object.
