Now I need to make an ai_execute_firing_my_lasers() function

PHP Code:

function ai_enter_float() { 
  this.ani = "idle"; 
  this.aiPeriod = 1; 
} 

function ai_execute_float() { 
  temp.pl = this.acquireTarget(); //you can do findnearestplayers to see if there is a target
  if (temp.pl != nil) {
    this.ani = "alert";
    changeState("attack");
    return;
  }
  //logic here move? 
  this.ani = "move"; 
}

function ai_enter_attack() {
  this.aiPeriod = 0.4 * this.attack_speed;
}

function ai_execute_attack() {  
   temp.target = this.acquireTarget();
  if (temp.target == nil) {
    changeState("float");
    return;
  }
  attack(temp.target);
}

function attack(temp.target) {
  temp.pos_x = this.x + 0.5 + vecx( this.dir ) * 1.5;
  temp.pos_y = this.y - 1 + vecy( this.dir ) * 1.5;
  temp.angle = getangle( temp.target.x - temp.pos_x, temp.target.y - temp.pos_y );
  temp.speed = 1;
  setshootparams( this, temp.dmg, params);
  shoot(
     temp.pos_x, temp.pos_y, 0,
     temp.angle, 0.1, temp.speed,
     this.ani_arrow, null
   );
}

function acquireTarget() {
  // Add aggro to players near entity
  temp.targets = findnearestplayers(this.x, this.y);
  return temp.targets[0];
}
