here is a script i just made.
Code: Select all
player1.yscreen=player2.yscreen;

or you could replace the y in yscreen for x

also
player1.y=player2.y;

as yscreen and xscreen are just the position of an actor on the screen, o,o being the top left corner.

using xscreen and yscreen has an advantage over x and y: x and y are relative to the actor's parent (if there is one). xscreen and yscreen are always relative to the view. So, if one actor has a different parent than the other, using x and y will get weird results. Using xscreen and yscreen will fix the problem. (same with getting distance and direction).

What if you desired the actor who is following to stop a little way to the side of the actor who is leading?

Use the distance function to measure and unattach parent if he gets too close.
