How do I get AI followers to not stop on-top of player?

My player has 4 followers from the game start. When they follow my player and my player stops, they continue to find path to player's central image point. So they stop right on top of the player. I understand why this happens but is there a way they can stop on a certain 'radius-line' around the player for example, coming from any direction?? My player gets no breathing space when everyone has stopped.

There are different approaches you can take. Mine would be to use the Stop action when the follower is within a certain distance from the player, distance would be distance(follower.x,follower.y,player.x,player.y) less than some value.

Hi, if you have a defined number of followers for the player, you could always create image points for your player object and use these points as coordinates for the followers, for example Follower1 will move to Point1, etc
