Hello! I have a friendly NPC that follows you around, but is there any way to make that NPC stay a tile behind the player? I eventually want a trail of NPC’s that follow you along your journey, and help you defeat hard to beat enemies, and it is going to be a little awkward to play as the main character if everyone is on the same tile.

Thanks!

maybe if you use the “tilemap” extension (not made by micrasoft makecode) you get the blocks like do somthing next to a sprite for example i was making a horror game and i hade a wardrobe to get in and out of and i made it so that when you touch that block it places my sprite next to the wardrobe sprite im not sure if itb workes but have a try 🙂
