Hi.  
Ok, so it's obvious how you make objects move towards others, but how can you make it so objects move AWAY from others?
EDIT: If it is possible, of course. (which i'm sure it is! This is Game Maker! Anything can be done, right?)
I'm hoping this isn't a duplicate topic, too...

Well, you could try something like this:

{
  dir = point_direction(x, y, objAlpha.x, objAlpha.y) //Where objAlpha is the object you want this object to move away from.
  dir = dir + 180
  direction = dir
  speed = 5
}

Simply a matter of logic. What I did there was determine the direction of 'objAlpha' from 'this' object and add 180 to it i.e. turn the direction of 'this' object to the opposite direction.

Feel free to ask any further questions.

Give that command a negative speed.

Oh yeah! That makes sense. *facepalm*
EDIT: However, if there is another problem. I'll be sure to post it.
