hello, i just started using this program and dont know how to use it fully yet. I am making a project for school and need help. The assignment is to make an adventure game. For my project i would like the backround to move with the sprite as an endless loop creating a endless path for when you move the sprite. So when you move the sprite ( the sprite wont actually move, the backround will which i made a sprite too) please can someone help... this would be for the backround sprite...

[scratchblocks]
when [rightarrow] clicked
move (-5) steps
end

[scratchblocks]
when [leftarrow] clicked
move (5) steps
end

A way to do this would be scrolling, which you can look up on the wiki to get more help then we could give you.
http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Scratc … j673849j14

You can look through all those pages to find what you need!

You're thinking of scrolling. Read this. smile

Here's what I think:

the easy way is to make a separate sprite for each page.

make this variable:

(scrollx)

In the stage or a separate sprite, make this script:

forever
if <[right arrow v] key pressed?>
change [scrollx v] by (-5)
end
if <[left arrow v] key pressed?>
change [scrollx v] by (5)
end
set [scrollx v] to ((scrollx) mod ((480) * (insert number of costumes here)))
end

the bottom line should make it loop.

then for each page, do this:

forever
set x to ((scrollx) + ((480) * (0)))//increment the zero for each page
if <(x position)=((scrollx) + ((480) * (0)))>//increment the zero here, too
show//this "if" statement makes it hide if it's too far off the stage.
else
hide
end
end

I hope this helps, and works, too!

Wow, major outpost. I should just go to the wiki next time.

Just to explain a bit if you're new to scratch, the reason we use 480 in the scripts is because the scratch stage is 480x360. So if you were scrolling on the Y axis you'd use 360 instead smile

how would you set the backround to start at the first back round everytime you click the green flag ? so that the sprite starts at the first backround everytime you want to play...

Just have it set scrollx to 0

when gf clicked
set [scrollx v] to [0]
