Hi,
Some of you may know that I am making a basketball game. I am trying to make the cpu player go for the basketball. I tried doing this.

[scratchblocks]
when gf clicked
forever
point in direction <sprite 1>
move <10> steps
end

The problem is that it starts to go in the air and keeps spinning around. What should I do to program the cpu player to follow the ball while staying on the ground?

Hmmm.... Well, for one, i am assuming that this game is a side-view game? Meaning you are looking at the side of the players, not the top? If so, then you need to go to the left of the name of your cpu and click the "<->" button, this will keep it from spinning.
Next, i need to know something, can the cpu jump? Other than throwing the ball? If not, then just say this:

when i receive [gameStart v]
repeat until < < (gameOver?) = [yes] > or < (holdingBall?) = [yes] > >
if < ([x position v] of [ball v]) < (x position)>
change x by [-3]
else
change x by [3]

This is of course, without any velocity, but that should work as long as the cpu is always at the same y position. Also, you can add any other conditional variables that you want, but the ones i added are the ones you will probably need. wink

Regards,

The cpu cannot throw the ball or jump, unfortunately.
