Mini-Project 1 - Chase Game (Basilisk Practice!)

Step 1: Create the Chaser

Screenshot: Step 1: Create the Chaser

• Add a Part to your game
• In Properties, change Size to: 4, 4, 4 (makes it bigger)
• Change BrickColor to green (it's our practice snake!)
• Rename it to "Chaser" (click the name in Explorer)
• Turn OFF "Anchored" in Properties (so it can move)
• Turn ON "CanCollide" (so it bumps into things)

Step 2: Add the Chase Script

Right-click Chaser → Insert Object → Script. Then add this code:

-- Simple Chase Script
local chaser = script.Parent
local chaseSpeed = 10

while true do
    -- Find the closest player
    local closestPlayer = nil
    local closestDistance = math.huge

    for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        if player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
            local playerPosition = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
            local distance = (chaser.Position - playerPosition).Magnitude

            if distance < closestDistance then
                closestDistance = distance
                closestPlayer = player
            end
        end
    end

    -- Move toward the closest player
    if closestPlayer then
        local playerPos = closestPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
        local direction = (playerPos - chaser.Position).Unit
        chaser.Velocity = direction * chaseSpeed
    end

    -- Check if we caught someone!
    if closestDistance < 5 then
        print("CAUGHT " .. closestPlayer.Name .. "!")
    end

    wait(0.1)
end

What's Happening Here?

Test Your Chase Game!

• Press Play
• Run away from the green block!
• See if you can escape!

Make It Harder!

Try changing "local chaseSpeed = 10" to a bigger number like 15 or 20. Can you still escape?
