Try having different movement behaviors for each enemy tank.

He means if they all have the same movement script then they will end up on top of each other. Each tank needs a script that is slightly different from the 9 others. For example, MOVE 7 instead of MOVE 6. Something like that.

If you can, may you provide an example using visuals and scripts? How can i make the tanks scripts different?

Here's an example of what @footsocktoe was talking about. On the left is your current script, on the right is what it might be:

Of course, you can use numbers larger than 1 too.

Another option is that instead of aiming for the player, a tank might turn 5 degrees after pointing at nanoTank.

By the way, [go to ([x position v] of [Rhino Tank v])] doesn't do anything. The correct way to do that is:

set x to ([x position v] of [Rhino Tank v])

However, that might make the game impossible to play. I recommend getting rid of the block.

Make a new script:

when I start as a clone // Assuming the different tanks are clones. If not, use "When green flag clicked."
forever
    if <touching [tank v] ?> then
    move (-1) steps
    end
end

Or try:

when I start as a clone
forever
    if <touching [tank v] ?> then
        turn ccw (90) degrees // Or turn clockwise. Whichever way turns it away from the other tank.
        move (1) steps
        turn cw (90) degrees // Again, reverse this if needed.
    end
end

I dunno if this would work. If not, you'll have to make a variable that senses where the other tank it is touching is.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
