SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Building enemies in Godot 4 from scratch requires writing movement AI, spawn logic, boss phase state machines, and visuals for every enemy type, which is repetitive and error-prone. This Skill provides complete, ready-to-adapt GDScript implementations for common enemy archetypes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Enemy Archetypes: Complete scripts for chase, patrol, and ranged enemies with movement, aggro ranges, attack logic, and hit-flash damage feedback. - Boss Fights: A phase-based boss (CHASE, SHOOT, DASH, VULNERABLE) with radial bullet patterns, damage reduction outside vulnerable phases, and score rewards. - Spawn & Wave Systems: Timer-based spawning with spawn-in tween animations, enemy caps, and a structured wave table mixing enemy types. - Procedural Visuals: A reusable enemy_visual.gd that draws layered, animated enemy bodies (glow, shadow, eyes, outlines) via _draw(), with automatic fallback to sprite textures when assets exist. - Use Case: When prototyping a 2D action game in Godot 4, use this Skill to generate a working wave-based combat encounter with a boss fight in minutes instead of writing each behavior from scratch. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to create a Godot 4 chase enemy and a wave spawn system using this skill's scripts, then add the generated scenes to your main scene.

Frequently Asked Questions about godot-enemies

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a chase enemy in Godot 4?▼

Extend CharacterBody2D, get the player via get_first_node_in_group("player"), and set velocity toward the player each _physics_process before calling move_and_slide. Add a CollisionShape2D and a visual child node for rendering.

How to make a boss with phases in Godot?▼

Use an enum for phases (CHASE, SHOOT, DASH, VULNERABLE) and a phase timer switched in _physics_process. Each phase changes velocity and attack behavior, and damage can be reduced outside the vulnerable phase.

How do I spawn enemies in waves in Godot 4?▼

Define a wave table with count, enemy types, and delay, then instantiate enemy scenes in a loop with await create_timer between spawns. Cap active enemies by counting nodes in the enemies group before spawning more.

Can I draw enemy sprites procedurally in Godot without textures?▼

Yes, attach a Node2D script that overrides _draw() and uses draw_circle, draw_colored_polygon, and draw_line to render layered shapes. Call queue_redraw() each frame to animate effects like pulsing.

Why is my Godot enemy not moving toward the player?▼

The player node must be in the "player" group and the enemy must call move_and_slide() after setting velocity. Also verify the player reference is valid with is_instance_valid before computing direction.
