I don't understand... I deleted the scripts for the player, but the scroll sprite still disappears when I press green flag 
And I've made the scroll sprite real big, but how Do I actually get the background to move?

Oh, it's that he disappears? You said that he won't move.

To stop him disappearing, keep track of when he receives broadcasts on when the game begins and such. When it does, he should show; and only make him hide when he shouldn't be: e.g., at the beginning of the game.

Maybe I should try posting Scratch blocks? I'll try and type my own.

For jumping:

When Up Arrow Key pressed
repeat 6
change y by 8

When Green Flag Clicked
forever
   if not color [feet color] touching color [platform coating color]
   change y by -2

Or something like that. Change the proportions as neccessary.

For the scrolling:

When Right Arrow Key pressed
change ScrollX by -5

When Left Arrow Key pressed
change ScrollX by 5

You can also change the proportions to fit the scrolling speed.


Is that helping?

  Just doesn't wanna work for me.
For the scrolling sprites script I have:
When Right Arrow Pressed
change ScrollX by -5

When Left Arrow Pressed
change ScrollX by 5

I have the same scripts in stage as well. (they are the only scripts for the scroll script and stage.

For my main character to jump I have:
When Up Arrow Pressed
If background# of stage = 1 or background# of stage=2(addin all of no's of stage as i go)
if touching colour blue or touching colour green
repeat 10
change y by 9

and also

When uparrow pressed
forever
reapeat until colour grey is touching colour green or grey is touching colour blue
change y by -2


that is all my scripts. When I press right or left my scroll script doesnt do anything

What's not working? But I have something to mention:

Try changing your
     When uparrow pressed
     forever
     reapeat until colour grey is touching colour green or grey is touching colour blue
     change y by -2
                          script into this:

When Green Flag Clicked
forever
   repeat until color [feet color] is touching color [platform coating color]
   change y by -2

I'm not sure what part of it isn't working. Could you try explaining it a little more clearly?

Jumping works completely fine.
All that isn't working is making my scroll sprite move accross when I press right or left.

Your sprite isn't supposed to move. It's the scrolling sprites that move. Check the link again to see it working. 

If you want to really, fully, learn scrolling look at the scripts of a lot of archmage's projects

  as I said... The main sprite works fine. it's the scroll sprite that isn't doing anything.

Oh! I'm sorry! You mean the scrolling sprites don't work?

Check that scrolling link again, it explains the scripting for it.

Here's the link: Learn Scrolling Now!

Check the bit about "set x to ........".

One last question; when making other sprites in the project, how would I make it so they don't follow the scroll sprite like the character does? So they just stay in the one spot as the main character goes along.
If this sounds simpler to explain:
With the terrain(scroll sprite) I have, where it ends there is an orange line.
If the main character touches this line, I wanna be able to make him go to a sprite (the start sprite).
But I don't want this start sprite(that the character goes to if touching orange) to move along with the scroll script, I just want it to stay in one spot of the terrain. Sorta just like painting "start" in a different colour text, and making the sprite go to that colour if touching a different colour, but I'm not sure if that's possible.
Hope you can help =]

I'm confused... how many questions are there? Could you please state it differently?

Sorry if I'm silly. 

Yeh, at a specific point in the scrolling.

Hope this sounds less complicated:
There is a long track of road (scrolling sprites)
I want this "Start sprite" only to be seen at the first scrolling sprite. I want it to still be there, so if I touch red, I go back to it, but I don't want to be able to see it all the time in the scrolling.

So basically just at one certain point.

Thank you soo much!!!
You two (Chrischb and fg123) are legends!
Dunno how to thank you enough, I will give you honourable mentions when I upload my project 

One thing... I have a few terrain sprites, the things work really well (they are the same size) and all the scripts are the same for them (except the locations of them) and they are put on eachothers edge so it looks like one big long one, but when I move across, they separate? I have no idea why 

Distance increases.

Nvm. Fixed it all up before, should've posted then and saved ya bit of time.
Game is now finished, am adding few more levels though, currently has two.

Hi guys, I'm making an Adventure game for my friend who has returned to the internet.
He loves cows, so I decided to make him a CowAdventure game. The basic idea of it will be a cow escapes from a boring old farm, and gets trapped in adventure. The things I need helping with (by helping I mean recommending what scripts to use) these things:
- How to make a sprite Jump
- How to make it have health (i know this has something to do with variables) and lose it if it falls off the platforms
-How to make it land on platforms that are above the ground instead of going past them
-How to make backgrounds move along as the cow progresses, so it's more of a big background than the usual size (but you only see part of it until you get to the end of the bit you can see)

Please help, will be much appreciated =]

this should help:
when green flag clicked, forever, start if right arrow pressed, turn to 90, move 5 steps, end if, start if left key pressed, turn to -90, move 5 steps, end if, start if up arrow pressed, change y by 10, end if, start if not touching ground, change y by -10, forever end.

Oh and also, with the jump thingy, what I've got to jump is:
When Uparrow Pressed
if background of stage = 1
if touching colour white
repeat10
change y by 6

Thats for uparrow to jump, then for right arrow to go right i have
When rightarrow pressed
point in direction 90
if on edge bounce
change x by 10


Now when I press Up and Right, it only goes up but not across and up?

is back ground of stage a variable?and i ve done the right arrow thing but it doesn't work on jumping
