e GobbleWizard. You supposed to click on a spot
on the background and the GobblerWizard moves to that point and it sits now. What is happening is it moves to the target l location but then
keep movement in that direction. I even do the function to check distances and it seems it is not effective. Code below:

I see a lot of checks that are only happening during the step when you release the mouse button, and no checks happening at any other time. Gotta watch how those curly braces are grouped.

for neater code, you can use min, max and clamp, like

x = clamp(x, 0, 1600);

And as for stopping, you will need to tell it to stop, because move_towards_point doesn't do it automatically once it reaches the specified point. You have to make the checks separately.
You commented out the part where it tells to stop. It's literally the example from the manual.
