I am having problems with my enemies overlapping . I tried having them move away on the collision event but since they're the same object they preform the same actions. Is there a way to make them move away in different directions on the collision event or would it be easier to prevent them from moving into each other in the first place. Here is my current AI:

if(instance_exists(Guy)){//If Guy exists
  if(point_distance(x,y,Guy.x,Guy.y) < 350){//If within  range
    if(x > Guy.x){
      hspeed = max(-3,hspeed - 0.25)
      sprite_index = Alien_Run_left
    }
    else{
      hspeed = min( 3,hspeed + 0.25)
      sprite_index = Alien_Run_right
    }
  }
  else{
    if(abs(hspeed) > 0.5){
      hspeed -= 0.5*sign(hspeed)
    }
    else{
      hspeed = 0
    }
    if(hspeed<0){
      sprite_index = Alien_Left
    }
    else{
      sprite_index = Alien_right
    }
  }
}
