It doesnt have to go straight you can make it go up and down to avoid the boxes

Okay, so. I cannot figure out how to make one of my sprites get from one side of the screen to the other without touching a few sprites I put in the middle. I have a red dot chasing a black dot, and I do not want the red dot to touch the box like sprites I put between the black dot and red dot. Any ideas? anybody? If what I'm not saying is clear, I will try and rephrase.

Try this:

Make a second sprite in front of the red dot that looks like a triangle with both sides a different color, like this:



Make sure the costume center is on the point of the triangle.

Now, give the sprite two variables like 'touching left' and 'touching right'. Add this script:



Then, add this script to the red dot:



Change the speed to your liking, and experiment with different heights and widths of the sensor and turning speeds, to see what works best.

Does this help?

I suppose you could have more sensors on the sides, and make the red dot only follow the black dot if the side sensors aren't sensing anything.    Although that might make way to more glitches.
