Any suggestions on making objects stop just before hitting the target object

With changing my numbers over and over till the object stops in front of the target is there a easier way of making the object stop before hitting my target.

Here's how I did it with two spheres:

sphereHighPoly move ( ( ( sphereHighPoly distance to sphereHighPoly2 ) - ( subject = sphereHighPoly 's width ) ) ) toward target = sphereHighPoly2

Note that ( subject = sphereHighPoly 's width ) is just how far away you want the object to stop at.

seems to work did not know if I had to mess with the parameters or variables to do that.

I am actually newly registered to the alice site due to my needing some technical help, and read your post asking about how to move objects closer without touching and not having to do as you mentioned.... I see there is a response and you figured it out but another suggestion if you are interestead is to create a variable and name it distance, and then using the objects move method, and the objects distance to function, and you can make a mathmatical expression and end with minus (-) the second objects 'depth' and it will stop it right in front of it without 'collision' or placing objects on top of eachother. Hope th at is another idea for you
