Oh, I see what you mean.
You want a sprite that follows the first sprite.
That is some pretty hard stuff to do...
I am not quite sure of it myself but I am sure you will need to have some of the same scripts on the following sprite.
Just set that sprite to do everything the first sprite does, just exclude the player's control over it and add a delay so it does not always overlap the player sprite.
Hope this helped a little!

Re: scrolling: how do i make sprites follow other sprite?
I was stuck on this at first, but after a while I found out what to do:
Click on the Sprite that you want to follow the other sprite. Then add this script:
[scratchblocks]
when gf clicked
forever
go to sprite ...
[scratchblocks]
Sorry if the scratch block doesnt work It's my first time at doing them 
Hope this helps

That was a fail lol!! If you don't understand the meant to be scratch block, its when green flag clicked, forever, go to sprite (number) and that should work.

Ahh thanks! Although the go to sprite bbit is meant to be dark blue, but not sure if that matters or not

Re: scrolling: how do i make sprites follow other sprite?
To do this, you use a normal follow script "point towards, move x steps" and then you make the sprite react the opposite way you do to movement keys, for example if you press up, you may go up but it goes down, this gives the effect of moving away, and if you do the opposite, you go towards it

Its because its a drop down, go to (drop down list). To do that you add a drop down arrow, 'v', so it becomes:
go to [sprite 1 v]
go to [sprite 1 v]
(Fixed above, again, too)

Re: scrolling: how do i make sprites follow other sprite?
when gf clicked forever set [Delta_x v] to ((Your_X) - (x)) set [Delta_y v] to ((Your_Y) - (y)) if <(Delta_y) = [0]> if <(Delta_x) < [0]> set [direction v] to [-90] else set [direction v] to [90] end else if <(Delta_y) < [0]> set [direction v] to ((180) + ( [atan v] of ((Delta_x) / (Delta_y)))) else set [direction v] to ( [atan v] of ((Delta_x) / (Delta_y))) end end change [x v] by (( [sin v] of (dir)) * (4)) change [y v] by (( [cos v] of (dir)) * (4)) endThis is for the enemy sprite. The Your_X and Your_Y are your character's x and y.
