Im trying to remake the original super mario bros on scratch. sence its one way scrolling. If i made the ememys stop scripts if far from the player to reduce lag. Is this possible?

You could use the wait until block and make it so that it will wait until the distance between them is a certain amount before they do anything

you could have something like:

forever
IF scrollx of ENEMY < scrollx of PLAYER - 150:
hide
stop script
IF scrollx of ENEMY > scrollx of PLAYER + 150:
hide
ElSE show

The 'stop script' part is to prevent lag. If you wanted to be really efficient, you count only have 1 sprite and keep reusing it.

Hope this helps
