Hey, you could check to see if the object was within a certain radius of the player and if so, turn the object away and move it away.
I've attached a simple example to show how you could do this.
The AI uses a finite state machine. Usually the AI characters with walk randomly in a "NORMAL" state. When you get to close to them they will turn and run away in a "FLEE" mode.

mouselook and WASD controls

umm there should be a > sign between enemy_player_dist# and max_enemy_distance#, like:
if enemy_player_dist#>max_enemy_distance#
that line is there so the enemy knows when to stop running, or else it would keep running away forever.

globals are variables that can be accessed in functions. I didn't have any functions so I didn't need to use global variables in the example. I just did that because it is a nice way to define variables.

arrays are global.

this part makes the image:

rem quick grass texture
for x=0 to 100
for y=0 to 100
ink rgb(0,rnd(255),0),0
dot x,y
next y
next x
get image 1,1,1,100,100

it just make a 100 by 100 box filled with different shades of green. Later in the code it uses the image as a texture for the matrix:
prepare matrix texture 1,1,1,1
the first "1" is the matrix number to texture, the second "1" is the image number used to texture it, and i think the last two 1s are scaling stuff that control how the texture is scaled on the matrix.
