  Sure, you just have to figure out where the edge is.
  I would constrain the edge of the actor to two game level attributes, x and y, and then constrain the follower actor to the game level attributes.

  @Summation Nice, thank you! I'll give it a try right now.

  No matter how big the actor is, the right edge of the actor is always:
  (self.position.x) + ((self.size.width)/2))

  an the left edge is:
  (self.position.x) - ((self.size.width)/2))

  This is a handy way of finding the edge because even if you change the size or position of the actor the game will calculate the x position of its edge for you.

  Nice one, @noahb
