I dont know what you mean but I think you want path nodes.

No,no i want to make like. The enemy cant go through the door because i put there an area which blocks the enemy.

Try block boxes. Under entities > technical. If the regular block boxes won't work, try the block_box_nonchar ones. If this causes issues with the player being unable to pass, create a callback that activates the block box once the player passes it, so the monster won't be able to follow the player. You can also script it both ways so the box deactivates if the player wants to go back towards the monster area.
A lot of game functionality will need scripting anyways so. Good luck

I would use
Code:
SetEnemyDisableTriggers(string& asName, bool abX);a area collide with your monster.
E.g.
Code:
AddEntityCollideCallback("monstername", "ScriptArea", "yourfunc", true, 1);Code:
void yourfunc (string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEnemyDisableTriggers("monstername", true);

DarkEagle use X4anco's method it wont look wierd because using blockboxes will make the monster still run at you even if its not moving.
