Moving to the nearest candy

[Troodon]

Hi,
When I make moveto candy (an actor), my main actor goes always towards the latest (or newest) candy actor. Is it possibly to change it so that it goes always to the nearest?

Another question:
How is the distance working with if function? I want a reaction when the distance is smaller than 50 pixels.

Anyone?

How is the distance working with if function? I want a reaction when the distance is smaller than 50 pixels.

Code: Select all

if(distance(x, y, other.x,  other.y) < 50)
{
  //your action here
}

Thanks Maks!
Now I'm trying to make: if actor nearer than 50 pixels, move to another direction. However this is little hard.

I tried to use the code above you gave me and this code that I had some days ago together but I couldn't succeed. How should I make it work?

The code I had from this forum:

Code: Select all

angle=direction(mainactor.x, mainactor.y, monster.x, monster.y); +180;
directional_velocity=2;
