Scratch

Well, I wanna make a 2 sprite scroller, but it is infinite. This part:
[blocks]<when green flag clicked>[/blocks]
[blocks]<forever>[/blocks]
[blocks]<set x to( (( <{ scrollx }> <+>(( 480 <*><{ determine if odd or even }>  ))  ))[/blocks]

Does that help?

I made up a scrolling code that uses 2 sprites and scrolls infinetly.

Check method 2.

And it doesn't use costumes

I've tried it. Doesn't work.... Plus, this one is easier. Only 2 variables and not complicated mathematics

Ok, firstly, it does work. I even gave a demonstration project.

It doesn't use complex mathematics. You just have to be a relatively experinced programmer to make it work. It works fine and I used it in a scrolling game called "Archknight's Adventure".

And if your method doesn't use costumes, how can you make large areas using just 2 sprites and 2 costumes?

Last time I tried, it didn't work, but you might have updated it. And I figured out that, this method witches costumes EASILY by the odd or even variable. I figured that AFTER  I posted...

The best way to show off your new method is to make a good demonstration project with smooth transitions that displays a fairly large piece of real estate, maybe 3 or 4 windows width.  Seeing is believing, right?

I'm working on a Starfox kinda game

i think it is, but make sure you credit bluestribute and that cyclone person for the smooth scrolling and the even/odd project.

I will. And I just figured out that the one I copied from bluestribute actually doesn't use my example (though mine does the same thing, but more options and easier). I feel stupid now...

wat do you mean it doesn't use ur example? u mean the even odd thing?

Right on. But like I said, they produce the same effect, but my way is easier and more efficient.
