Moving Towards Point

BASIC
If you want a object to simply move towards a point or another object heres the code:

move_towards_point(ball.x,ball.y,5)

ball is the point you want to move towards, 5 stands for the speed.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
If you want a object to move towards a point avoiding SOLID heres the code:

action_potential_step(ball.x,ball.y,5,0)

Ball stands for the point. 5 stands for the speed. 0 means to avoid solid objects.

If you want a object to move towards a point avoiding ALL INSTANCES heres the code:

action_potential_step(ball.x,ball.y,5,1)

Ball stands for the point. 5 stands for the speed. 1 means to avoid all objects.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
A BIT MORE ADVANCED
If you want a object to move towards the nearest of multiples of the same object without avoiding other objects heres the code:

move_towards_point(instance_nearest(x,y,ball).x,instance_nearest(x,y,ball).y,5)

instance_nearest tells it to move towards the closest of that object. ball stands for the point to move towards. 5 stands for the speed to move.
