Hi,
I made a script for the player to walk towards the enemy’s position, the problem is I don’t know how to determine the position so that the player can stop outside the enemy’s radius

The script that I made always makes the player stop right at the enemy’s position point. The temporary solution I have is to detect the enemy radius with area2d, but that’s not good

func example():
  var enemy = $enemy.global_position
  if $player.position.distance_to(enemy) < 3:
	  print("bla bla")
  pass

(“distance_to”)
Note : Number 3 ( three ) . Try changing

Does the enemy have a Collisionshape?

func example():
  var enemy = $enemy.global_position
  #Let's say there is.
  #I assume you have a field
  var enemy2 = $Enemy/Area2D/CollisionShape2D.shape.radius
  if $player.position.distance_to(enemy) < enemy2:
          print("bla bla")

  pass
