What is wrong with whiteface code?

[ibm5155]

So the problem looks like in decorate.
Well here's the situation.
This monster is a ghost, so he can pass by walls, also he haunts humans...

The problem is: sometimes, he pass near the target and continue walking until it reaches the map limit and then get teleported to the other area, and then he kills the human

text exampla [w] = white face , [h] = human , [x] = dead human
the top of the image is what's happening, the last image is what it should be




Well he should track the human just like a rocket from revenant, but sometimes it doesn't work. Is it related to something on decorate?

I can't really make sense of the image with the text example. (Because there is none... All I see is white face, a white hexagon, an arrow, a red star and some unknown squiggly lines. No markings to label which is which.) I can probably ascertain that the hexagon is meant to be the player... The red star being dead?

As for the code, try changing A_Chase to a 0-tic A_FaceTarget call followed by a 1 or 2-tic A_Recoil(-1) call. That will make the enemy chase the player relentlessly. If that's too fast, A_Recoil(-0.5) may work too. If you need it to attack when close, use A_JumpIfCloser, or you may be able to get away with setting the enemy's speed attribute to 0, and call a 0-tic A_Chase call before A_FaceTarget or after A_Recoil to get it to initiate it's melee state.
