Hi there

I was wondering if anyone knows how to use the scrollx block?

Thanks in advance

Scrollx? You mean as a variable?

Yes. I just wanted to know how to use it in scrolling game.

Thanks

Well, on the character's sprite, instead of saying:

"When left key pressed - change x by (whatever speed you want)

you say:

"When left key pressed - change (SCROLLX) by (whatever speed you want)

Then, on a background sprite, you say:

set x position to ((SCROLLX) * (480 * BACKGROUND NUMBER))

I hope this isn't confusing!

What is scrollX exactly? Can someone please tell me?

It's a variable.
In theory, You could name it anything,
It doesn't have a specified function like the other blocks.
You can make scrolling games by using it to have the Background change costumes.

Please do NOT spam. It gets annoying.

@ topic creator The others are right.
Next time, put this in all about scratch if you need help with a problem. wink

Spamming is posting the link over and over again.

Or posting the link when it has nothing to do with the topic.

The project, "Escape", is a scrolling game that uses scrollx.

The topic creator could download the project and look at the scripts to see how scrollx works.
