Hi, i'm very new to this thing.
Heard about it from school like 2 weeks ago and all we did was a bit of basic animating.
Yesterday i decided to actually try to make a project, after i looked at some of the wonderful projects on the website.
I've made a game, where you're trapped in a room, and zombies walk towards you (5). When 1 dies another comes and so on.
Theres an ammo box and an upgrade box, for when you run out of ammo or when the zombies get too strong for the basic damage.

You gotta press q to start, and the zombies will be in the right place.
wasd to move.
Click to shoot.

As you can see there are a few bugs, listed at the notes:
Walking backwards into red gets you out.
Zombies sometimes start powerful.
Gun stops firing.

These are bugs i've found while playing the game on scratch.
Please help, as i spent quite a long time working on this, and these bugs are really annoying.
If you want to see any of the script i'd be happy to show you.

Thanks so much in advance;

I think since you have just started Scratch you should start with something that is easier to do unless, you think that you are ready with this kind of project. I'll be happy to help you as soon as I see the scripts.

Well, i think i may as well get the bugs sorted out now i have done this much.
My main annoyance is where if you walk backwards into the wall you can get out.
Here's the script i use.


<forever if><touching color[ red
<move( -20 )steps>

Change the "Move Steps" block into X and Y blocks instead. "Move Steps" blocks sometimes cause problems. Also, when you change it make sure the character is moving in the right direction. It may suck in the character if you use the wrong direction. Hope this helps!

Thanks very much, it's working perfectly now.
Theres still one pretty annoying glitch though.
Sometimes, i don't know what causes it, i'm shooting normally.
Sometimes i can get in 15 bullets sometimes i can only get in 1, but it almost always happens, that when i want to shoot, it randomly doesn't let me.
So all i can do is run around like an idiot, or restart the game.
Screenshot of all the bullets code:

The bit you can't see just says when the bullet should stop moving.
If you need to see any more code to help, please say.
Again, thanks so much in advance;

Try to change the "Change Ammo by -1" too "Change Ammo by 1". I think that might help. I really can't do it visually that easily so if you would like the best help upload the project online so I could fix it for you then send it too you. Uploading the project would be the easiest for me.

Thats the project without the wall glitch sorted out.
And if i change ammo by 1 then i would have unlimited ammo, because once it hits 0 i need more ammo, if you get where i'm going with this...

Anyway, the uploaded project has the same scripts for the bullet as my most updated version, apart from the "Repeat until touching colour"
"Move 10 steps"
Which is now "Repeat untill touching colour1 or colour2 or moved 200 from main"

And if you need to change anything on the main guy, the only difference is now, on my updated version, it has "change x by 20" and "change y by 20" instead of "move 20", which caused the previous glitch.

Thanks so much for all the help btw.

Okay I will fix it now. I'll tell you when I am done.

Man, thanks so much, you rock!
(love you    )
Now to work on MOAR.
Mental breakdown of happiness yey.

wait how

Its sorted now, and that would = unlimited ammo = no point for ammo.
