You can set up multiple path names its probably easier to just set up a new line line with 3 or 4 diffferent paths (mini nodes) you can add pauses ect but it can make the AI look rubbish if all enemies are following this same path

Answered in your other thread.

Right click the mini nodes and name them as per above, you can then set expressions to go to node by name. The pathway movement gives the same results but quicker.

Have you found the Path movement option under movements?

Yes I have but I have the same object spawning in different places so if they all have the same path they would not go to the correct place but if I used goto node then they go stright to the object I want.

I think we are at a point where you need to post a MFA for us to peek at.

How do you create a "node" so you can use "Goto node"

A IVI A, again, Have you found the Path Movement option inside the movement tab for the object you are moving?

Yes I have, ages ago, I want to spawn the same object many time and have them move towards the centre of the frame. By chaning the object path example, the object in the top left corner, I give it a path to go to the centre, Another one spawns bottom right corner, its path will then be to move out of the frame, so im think the "Goto node" will then work so Im hoping someone could teach me how to exactly use "Goto node" Im sorry if this doesnt make any sense to you, I could make a video if need to be, Thank you

If you want the the objects to randomly spawn and then head to center of screen then you should first...

Create Object
Set X pos to Random(Frame Width)
Set Y pos to Random(Frame Height)

Then you can either use something like Ball movement and have it always move towards the center of the screen. Or write some custom movement code using the event editor.

But based on what you are saying, path movement doesn't seem the best option.
