Random NPC Movement

I am just showing off my random NPC movement. The NPC will move randomly in 4 directions across the map. If the npc reaches a solid object he will stop. Also I made it so the npc will not collide with the player. Even Dragon Fantasy couldn’t get this right. Its working perfectly.

Quite nice looking. I have also been watching the other videos, this game looks well-made. You program in GML too?

  Thanks! Yes this is programmed with GML. I have been working with GML since Game Maker version 5.0 so I am quite experience with using the language.
