How do I make one object "repel" other objects

I've been trying to get this effect to work but am not having much success.

Imagine one object moving through a crowd of other objects. As the object moves through the crowd the other objects smoothly get pushed back a certain distance from the original object. Any ideas?

What about giving each object a "Bullet" function reactionary.

Every tick > Set Object.Bullet.Angle to -angle(self.x,self.y,char.x,char.y)

For each object

If dist(self.x,self.y,char.x,char.y) > mindist

Set Object.Bullet to enabled

else

Set Object.Bullet to disabled

dop2000: Brilliant, thanks. Works perfect.

MPPlant: I would like to learn your method as well.

I got the 'every tick' part set but I'm stuck on the next step. Which action would I pick to set up the 'if dist...' ?

It's the same check as in my example - if distance between two sprites less than some value, then enable bullet behavior.

Got it, thanks!
