Legacy GM [SOLVED] How do I make an object follow a path?

Basically all I want the object to do is follow the lines clearly laid out in the path editor, then stop moving. But it doesn't seem to do that, just moves a bit than stops.

Code:
Code: 
///STEP
if gohome=1{
  path_start(p_Blue_Home1,5,path_action_stop,true);
}
This should just make the object go from where it currently is and follow the path at that speed until it reaches the end, then it just stops. But it's not doing that. What should I do to make it work?

Updated to show that it's being done in GMS 1.4, though it may still be a GML thing.

EDIT: Just changed the "true" value to "false" and it sent the object moving, but it kept moving past where it was supposed to stop and it didn't even move to the second point in the path. So it's like it's not even following the path at all.

Is it because it's in the step event? Because it seems like I need to trigger it once and then... wait...

EDIT2: lmao I just figured it out on my own. xD Problem was it kept triggering it every step, but for some reason it bugged out because of that.

I just had "gohome" set to back to 0 after it was triggered and that worked. So nevermind I guess.

There are path tutorials on you tube that helped me. Just google it.
