I want to make an enemy rotate toward a position when player is in the window (not the playfield).And I want it to stop when the player leaves the window.
I have made the enemy a bouncing ball, and its no prob to make it rotate using the always events or something simelar, but I cant make it work with player is inside the window. I have tried this event: "player" is getting closer than 0 pixels from windows edge = rotate "enemy" towards player. And I did the negate to make it stop when player leaves, but that didnt work, he just ignores the player. How can I make this work with just some events or another easy way. Oh and I use MMF and I do have the directional calculator

If X of enemy is > than X of player - (window X size / 2) AND
If X of enemy is < than X of player + (window X size / 2) AND
If Y of enemy is > than Y of player - (window Y size / 2) AND
If Y of enemy is < than Y of player + (window Y size / 2) THEN
*thing*
Change the (window X size / 2) and the (window Y size / 2) to the original value

that really doesnt work. Now he always follows me, even outside of the window. And I want to make a negate event where the enemy stops when he is outside

What you did was right - negate the 'Player is getting closer than 0 pixels' condition. But I don't understand what you mean about ignoring the player - I made a test game and it worked fine.

Did it work for you? This is how my event looks like:
Alterable value A of "group good" = 0 AND "Hit poit" is getting closer than 0 pixels from windows edge DO THIS: Rotate "group bad" towards 0,0 "hitpoint" When I do this the enemy just leaves out of the screen (using the bouncing movment)
(Hit point: The position I want the enemy to go)

That's because you didn't tell the enemy to Stop... of course it's going to go out of the screen :|

that is not the problem, the problem is that It wont rotate towards the active object when the active object is in the screen. read the above for more details.
