Re: How to make a variable move?

This is not possible with Scratch.  The easiest option is probably to create another variable, put one at each location, and use the "show variable" and "hide variable" blocks.

Re: How to make a variable move?

it is possible if you hack your copy of Scratch, but I think this may be a bit advanced (no offence)

Re: How to make a variable move?

It's possible, but you have to know quite a bit about the scratch interface. This is the tutorial.

Make a second copy of the scoreboard variables that has the same value and put it where you want the variables to move, then hide the original and show the copy to make the original appear to move.
