To cat lover: YES THIS MEANS YOU CAT LOVER
well..... its acully more triky then that! you have a sprite as a backround. you make it HUGE so only some of it shows! and then you can move it withought it like being weird by doint Change X by 4 and for the other character that has to move also change X by 4! but you might want to have them a little bit different like this change x by 4 and change x by 3  becuase it would look simmetrical like one if both moved the same way!

Re: Ask me anything, for i am a Pro Scratcher

If you want scrolling backgrounds I made a tutorial on them which can be found @ http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=2440

It's not the easiest thing to make though.

That should work , but it doesn't sound like it would do much different from

Perhaps you need to display the costume# and see what it is. 

Perhaps you accidentally deleted a costume and there are only 3 now?

If you can't get it working, post it on the web site and ask others to look at it—you may be omitting the description of something essential.

it is difernet then swithcing becuase say you have a sequence for when you shoot in alien since you cant do a viedoe so its like stop animation with costumes, and you have the sequence in order, thats the animation you want when someone shoots him. maybe i could try      repeat until costume # = 4
                        change  /                                \
                                    \ costume number by 1  /
insead of next costume.

That means the script contains an unknowm type of block, perhaps a comment block from Scratch 1.2 BETA.

its a comment block. you cannot do this anymore, becuase it was only in scratch beta. it MIGHT come to in an other downloadible scratch kit.

Re: Ask me anything, for i am a Pro Scratcher

okay heres a question that has been asked alot on my projects. i want this to stop so here it is: How can i make the sprite go to The mouse?
          well  you to this         <when green flag clicked><forever><go to[ mouse pointer
         
                okay that one way. heres the better way ( it make him move more smoothly)
                         <when green flag clicked><forever><go to x:(mouse x  )y sad  mouse y)   ( HAS TO BE MOUSE X ON X AND MOUSE Y ON Y!
                you can also do this to make him glide to it

                             <when green flag clicked><forever><glide(0.05 (or anything you want)  )secs to x:(mouse x  )y sad  mouse y )
                        and there you go.

Re: Ask me anything, for i am a Pro Scratcher

i retract the above statement. this is how i made a circular sound check...
[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<set pen color to( any color really )>
<point in direction(0)>
<forever>
<go to x sad 0)y sad 0)>
<move( (( 180 <*> (( <loudness> <*>.01 )) )) )steps>
<turn cw(.7866 )degrees>
<end>
[/blocks]

Re: Ask me anything, for i am a Pro Scratcher

thats exactly how i did it. You have found the way to do things easeir in scratch. decimals. its so much easier doing that like move 0.01 steps.

Hoe do you get a sprite to randomly drop from the top of the screen? Also how do you get a bullet to shoot both ways?    Thanks
