How to make character follow behind one another?

you could use block this to make the characters not overlap.
go back (999) layers

to make the characters point in a direction without actually pointing, you could use this block
set rotation style [don't rotate v]


hope this helps :)

I was thinking more they stand next to each other when they get close instead of just going behind them..

The go back 999 layers block will not prevent overlap. What you could do is something like this:

set rotation style [don't rotate v]
forever
point towards [sprite v]
move (10) steps
if <touching [sprite v]> then
move (-10) steps
end
end

Edit: It seems we're not talking about the same thing. Could you please post the link to your project so we can see it?

You'd need to make a complicated list, showing all of the enemy's Y positions in order. I'm trying to do the same thing, so here's a way you can do it:
when I start as a clone
forever

if <(y position) >(item ( (foo)) of (list :: list) > then
go to [front v] layer

else

go to [back v] layer

The “foo” variable would be the enemy's clone number. To assign enemies a specific clone number, try something like:

When I start as a clone
change clone number by amount of enemies

This is just how I would do it. IDK if there's an easier way.

Like I said, I'm trying to do the same thing. I can't share a project because I haven't done it yet, this is just a concept.

I get that you are trying to help, but the topic creator has definitely moved on. Don’t necropost
