Randomised Cockroaches

I've been working on this problem for a while, but it's proving difficult. I need cockroaches to not run into certain objects (can be in an MC) and run away from the mouse when you move it near them.

It would be something like:

cockroach run random places

if cockroach hittest object
cocoroach stop

if cockroach hittest hand (I have a hand being dragged for a cursor)
cockroach run other way



I know how vague that is. I can probably stop the cockroach from running into certain things, but I have no idea how to make them run in random paths, or away from the mouse.

Also - for convenience, let's say that the hand MC is named: pointer
and the cockroach MC is named: bug (probably will have bug 1, 2 and 3.)


I know it's a big ask, but I'd be very appreciative if I could work this out.

Thanks in advance
