Hello,

I am trying to make a simple 2-D platformer, and I don't know how to make a working start button, or make it when the button is pressed, the levels show up. Also, when a player finishes a level, how do I get it to go to the next level? 

Showing me a few relevant scripts for platformers would be greatly appreciated. 

Sincerely,

First of all, hello X360GLaDOS and welcome to Scratch!

Secondly, when asking a question, you're supposed to make a new topic about it, not post it on existing topic, unless your question is relevant.

Moving on, about your second question, you could use this in your main character:

when gf clicked
set [level v] to (0)
forever
 if (touching [goal v]?)
  change [level v] by (1)
  broadcast [new level v] and wait
 end

And for the other sprites, just use the "new level" broadcast to set them for the next level.

Now for your first question. You'll need this in your button:

when gf clicked
hide

Now you'll need to use either, but not both, of these in your button:

when [button v] clicked//A bit slower.
set [level v] to (1)
hide
broadcast [new level v] and wait

When gf clicked//A bit faster.
forever
 if <(touching [mouse pointer v]?) and (mouse down?)>
  set [level v] to (1)
  hide
  broadcast [new level v] and wait
 end

I hope that this helps!

If you just want to make it where your other sprites begin responding when its clicked put:

when [sprite1] clicked
broadcast [start v]

Then after you finish, program it where it all starts with when i recieve start
