Hi!

To get a variable slider, try to double-click on the variable monitor (on the stage).

Or you can right-click (Ctrl+click on the Mac), and choose "slider."

I know VERY basic variable stuff, please could someone tell me how  to make a SLIDER variable,Thanks a lot,Superpikachu.      

You can follow the instructions below. 

1. Show the variable on the project display.
2. Right-click it.
3. Select "slider".

You're done! If you want to set the minimum and maximum values allowed, follow the below steps:

1. Right-click the variable display again.
2. Select "set slider min and max".
3. Enter in numbers in the window that appears
4. Click "OK".

hi, i have a question about variables, when u go to the section for them u see the 'scroll x' but when i dowloaded a progect is said 'scroll X' what's the difference if any? :l

Sorry, I don't quite get what you mean... Do you mean the "change (x) by" and "set (x) to" blocks? Sometimes people use a variable called scroll x for scrolling, but they still use the aforementioned blocks.

Variables are like boxes of information that can vary in value or what it is showing. You can do what ever you want with them. Move variable steps, go to X variable Y variable. you can keep score, you can measure lives in a game. Whatever you want. Does that help? 

Does anybody know how to get the variable boxes to stay in one place?
When I uploaded my game they moved back to they're original spot before I moved them.

As kevin said thats a hard question to answer because variables have infinite applications. In case you don't what a variable is it is a number you can alter and use in your if statements and other code involving numbers.

I recommend you look at the role variables play in some simple projects and use your imagination to see how you can apply variables to your own projects.

It doesn't have to be a number. It can be a word.

How do you change variables? I made 2 variables, and im stuck on variable 2. I need to get something from variable 1 without deleting 2 then remaking. Is there any way?

Is there a way to get variables to stay in one spot?

when i was a kid ( i still am) i thought that if you made a varible, you made a new block    i was dumb

For example, this is how to add points in a pacman game:
<when green flag clicked>
<forever if><touching[ pacman
<change{ score }by( 1
