Honestly, in that situation, this would probably be the most natural reaction you’d get. I think you should try adding it before starting a new game. It might not be as hard as you think.
At the very least, you could make a very simple bot that looks at the player and shoots if there’s no obstacle in the way using raycasting. The movement part would be a bit more complex, but I think you could manage it if you work on it :)
Still, it’s up to you. Congrats again!
