I am trying to create a game where you need to prevent objects from hitting a different object that moves around randomly, I have tried many different times with no success, the object still sometimes goes inside the other object which causes the loss of tens of lives (You only get 10 to start with). Trying it so it picks a random number between -1 and 250 that is also has a distance of greater than 100 from the object only result in the sprite going to 0 and moving from there.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

How about deliberately going to the object then moving away

go to [ object v]
point in direction (pick random (-180) to (180)) 
move (pick random (50) to (200)) steps //or whatever distance is appropriate

I have resolved this issue but encountered another. Now it only “despawns” when it hits the sprite that is being defended, not when the mouse goes over it, despite the only difference in scripts is the name in the is touching block.

Edit: By this I mean, it disappears when I move my mouse over it but continues towards the sprite and only reappears when I move my mouse away.

It's best to share your project instead of describing what's happening, so we can see exactly what happens and take a look at your code to see what's causing it.

I have managed to solve the problem, thanks anyway, If you wish to check it out, the link is here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/347394320
