Well, you might want to try making your own thread for stuff like that. Also, a little bit more information would be quite nice, like what your scripts look like now.

I shall use mai magic powers to create a new thread for chipguy, so that we don't get so off-topic in here  smile

EDIT: Done  big_smile  Now, let's get to fixing this problem... perhaps you could upload the project, so that we can take a look at it?

Re: Help with character movement?

Found the project he's talking about here.

Edit: Ah! I've found the problem. The top script for the player sprite is activated by receiving "START" and contains a (Go to x: () y: () ) command, right? The problem is that START is constantly being broadcast, so you move your character, but then it receives the broadcast and resets back to the original position.

Remove the forever block... probably it's a slip up. Don't worry, it happens to the best of us.
