I am trying to make a character(1) follow another character(2) and when character(1) gets close enough to stop moving. The problem is , is that it only works some times. Does anyone have any idea how to change it so it works.

//follow the character with movment
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._x<_root.player._x && _root.player._x-this._x<100 or this._x>_root.player._x && this._x-_root.player._x<100) {
_root.sven.sven_body.sven_body_sword.sve nviking_sword_walking.gotoAndPlay("stop"
);
_root.sven.sven_legs.gotoAndPlay("stop")
;

} else {
if (this._x<_root.player._x && _root.player._x-this._x>=300 or this._x>_root.player._x && this._x-_root.player._x>=300) {
_root.sven.sven_body.sven_body_sword.sve nviking_sword_walking.gotoAndPlay("walk"
);
_root.sven.sven_legs.gotoAndPlay("walk")
;
}
// follow the character within boundaries
if (this._x>=1200) {
this = 0;
}
if (this._x<_root.player._x && _root.player._x-this._x<300) {
this._x += 3;
this.dir = 1;

// follow the character within boundaries part2
} else {
if (this._x<=-2150) {
this = 0;
}
if (this._x>_root.player._x && this._x-_root.player._x<300) {
this._x -= 3;
this.dir = -1;

}
}
}
}

made a little change

//follow the character with movment
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._x<_root.player._x && _root.player._x-this._x<100 or this._x>_root.player._x && this._x-_root.player._x<100) {
_root.sven.sven_body.sven_body_sword.sve nviking_sword_walking.gotoAndPlay("stop"
);
_root.sven.sven_legs.gotoAndPlay("stop")
;

} else {
if (this._x<_root.player._x && _root.player._x-this._x>=300 or this._x>_root.player._x && this._x-_root.player._x>=300) {
_root.sven.sven_body.sven_body_sword.sve nviking_sword_walking.gotoAndPlay("walk"
);
_root.sven.sven_legs.gotoAndPlay("walk")
;
}

if (this._x<_root.player._x && _root.player._x-this._x<300) {
this._x += 3;
this.dir = 1;

// follow the character part2
} else {

if (this._x>_root.player._x && this._x-_root.player._x<300) {
this._x -= 3;
this.dir = -1;

}
}
}
}

i really dont follow your code, all you need is:

if(this._x<other._x-SPD){
this._x += SPD
} else if (this.x>other._x+SPD) {
this._x -= SPD
}

and something similer for the y axis

What is the point of posting this when I myself can tell you are unclear if this is corect yourself. I know of a tutorial on here and I just need to find a link, I will post it once I find it again.

First of all the reason why the code is not clear is that you don't understand the basis of AS2, your trying to write a story by throwing a bunch of random words on a fridge. Try this and that and also AS:Main (you might need to look at another page for the beginner stuff)

thanks, but this is not what i am looking for.
