hello, i just started using this program and dont know how to use it fully yet. I am making a project for school and need help. The assignment is to make an adventure game. For my project i would like the backround to move with the sprite as an endless loop creating a endless path for when you move the sprite. So when you move the sprite ( the sprite wont actually move, the backround will which i made a sprite too) please can someone help... this would be for the backround sprite...

[scratchblocks]
when [rightarrow] clicked
move (-5) steps
end

[scratchblocks]
when [leftarrow] clicked
move (5) steps
end

A way to do this would be scrolling, which you can look up on the wiki to get more help then we could give you.
http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Scratc … j673849j14

You can look through all those pages to find what you need!

You're thinking of scrolling. Read this. smile

Here's what I think:

the easy way is to make a separate sprite for each page.

make this variable:

scrollx

In the stage or a separate sprite, make this script:


forever
if right arrow ▼
 key pressed?
change scrollx ▼
 by -5
if left arrow ▼
 key pressed?
change scrollx ▼
 by 5
set scrollx ▼
 to scrollx
 mod 480
 * insert number of costumes here

the bottom line should make it loop.

then for each page, do this:


forever
set x to scrollx
 + 480
 * 0
increment the zero for each page
if x position
=scrollx
 + 480
 * 0
increment the zero here, too
show
this "if" statement makes it hide if it's too far off the stage.
else
hide

I hope this helps, and works, too!

Wow, major outpost. I should just go to the wiki next time.

Just to explain a bit if you're new to scratch, the reason we use 480 in the scripts is because the scratch stage is 480x360. So if you were scrolling on the Y axis you'd use 360 instead smile

how would you set the backround to start at the first back round everytime you click the green flag ? so that the sprite starts at the first backround everytime you want to play...

Just have it set scrollx to 0

when  clicked
set scrollx ▼
 to 0
