Just get a list of distances and pick the smallest value.

Don't try it with more than about 20 sprites or it will probably lag too much.

[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
[add <distance to[ sprite2 ]> to [List] ]
[add <distance to[ sprite3 ]> to [List] ]
-So on so forth-
<set{ Line }to( 2 )>
<set{ Lowest }to( ( Item 1 of [ List ] ) )>
<repeat( Length of [ List ] )>
<if><( (Item (Line) of [List] <<> <{ Lowest }> )>
<set{ Lowest }to( ( Item (Line) of [ List ] ) )>
<end>
<change{ Line }by( 1 )>
<end>
<say[ <{ Lowest }> ]>
[/blocks]

Does that help? smile I'll create a project. smile

Thanks magnie for replying.

No problem, but I reliazed it's not exactly what you want, you'll need to add stuff on the bottom for the main sprite to point towards the closest sprite.
