Your code doesn’t make much sense out of context. What type of nodes are you using for the player and enemy? 2D nodes have a built-in direction property, so you don’t need to make your own variables for this.
See the following tutorial in the docs for examples of 2D movement. There’s a “follow mouse” example which you could use for this:
i already have a working follow player ai the problem is the sprite animation for it.
like is the player is above self, play walkup if the player is to the right of self, play walkright

I see. Again, without seeing your movement code, I can’t really tell you. For example:
If the object is moving, how are you telling it what direction to move? You can probably set the animation that matches at the same time.
Are you allowing diagonal movement or only up/down/left/right? This would make things slightly more complicated.
Post your code so we can see what you have. Then it will be possible to answer your question.

Hello again busy with school stuff any way here’s the code that is for the movement and sprite animation
it extends kinematicbody2d
func follow_loop()://FOLLOW AI
if turntime>0:
turntime-=1
var target = get_parent().get_node("Player")
var direction = target.get_global_position() - self.get_global_position()
var to_player = target.global_position - self.global_position
distance = to_player.length()
if distance < blindspot and distance > atkrange:
var X=int(direction.x)
var Y=int(direction.y)
if turntime==0:
if Y>0 and Y>X:
turntime=10
movedir=dir.Down
if X<0 and X<Y:
turntime=10
movedir=dir.Left
if Y<0 and Y<X:
turntime=10
movedir=dir.Up
if X>0 and X>Y:
turntime=10
movedir=dir.Right
if X==Y and X>0 and Y>0:
movedir=Vector2(1,1)
if X==Y and X<0 and Y<0:
movedir=Vector2(-1,-1)
if X>0 and Y<0:
movedir=Vector2(1,-1)
if X<0 and Y>0:
movedir=Vector2(-1,1)
motion=direction.normalized()*SPEED
movement_loop()
else:
movedir=Vector2(0,0)
func movement_loop():// MOVEMENT
if CLASS=="BOSS":
motion=movedir.normalized()*SPEED
else:
if hitstun==0:
motion=movedir.normalized()*SPEED
else:
motion=knockdir.normalized()*knockspeed
move_and_slide(motion, Vector2(0,0))
func spritedir_loop()://CHECKS DIRECTION WHERE KINEMATIC BODY IS MOVING
match movedir:
Vector2(0,-1):
spritedir="Up"
Vector2(0,1):
spritedir="Down"
Vector2(-1,0):
spritedir="Left"
Vector2(1,0):
spritedir="Right"
func anim_switch(animation):// CHANGES ANIMATION
var newanim=str(animation,spritedir)
if $anim.current_animation!=newanim:
$anim.play(newanim)
It is my script i use for all my kinematic bodies
i call them with a matchstatement in a physics_process function
Ex.
func _physics_process(delta):
match state:
"default":
state_default()
"attack":
attack()
func state_default():
print(health)
damage_loop()
follow_loop()
spritedir_loop()
if movedir!=Vector2(0,0):
anim_switch("Walk")
else:
anim_switch("Idle")
if distance<atkrange:
state="attack1"
func attack():
damage_loop()
anim_switch("Attack")
movedir=dir.Center
I hope this isnt too much for you
Its nothing really important just a hobby i do.
