How do I make a group of sprites follow another spirit but have a restriction on how close they get.

Uhm  
Use a follow block  
use the sprite utils extension

```auto
jwunderl/arcade-sprite-util

```

and use it to check if they get close enough.

A simple solution would be to check if the enemy is getting too close. If it’s a certain distance away, it will stop following, and if not it will keep following.

Hope this helps!
