Time for action — blast the robots away

Our SentryBot enemies get hurt by grenades, but let's have them pushed away from the explosion as well. In this section, we'll perform a simple position comparison to move them in the right direction, and then use our existing collision events to push them out of whatever objects they may end up stuck in.

1. 1. In the event where we damage the SentryBot from a collision with the GrenadeExplosion object, add a sub-event to check if SentryBot.X is Lower than the value of GrenadeExplosion.X

2. 2. Give this sub-event the SentryBot action Move at angle to move 80 pixels at 180 degrees.

3. 3. Finally, create another sub-event for when the opposite case occurs, and move the SentryBot by 80 pixels at 0 degrees. The event should match the following screenshot:

To finish off our game, we used a simple set of events to move the SentryBot to the left or right of the explosion, as we had already put events in place to move the object out of the ground...
