Help with infinite scrolling
How do I make an infinite scroller so that sprites randomly appear every so often?

I don't know what you mean about infinite scroller, but you can use

<show>
<wait( <pick random( blah )to( blah )secsc>

Re: Help with infinite scrolling
this is what I did

you can use this if you want, yet making an object appear every so often would mean that you would need to be able to find a way to make the object that appears know what position to appear at

Sorry, my explaining wasn't very good. What I mean is make sprite 'enemies' appear on an infinite scrolling base, without them disappearing while they're on screen, only once they have reached the edge.

Re: Help with infinite scrolling
Erm, I now have a different problem, caused by solving another problem.
As you can't draw pen on sprites, i've had to use the stage as the background, and have the 'enemies' scroll (y) instead of a scrolling background.
How do I make an 'enemy' sprite appear at the top the screen at a random time, then scroll down using scrolly and diasappear again at the bottom?
If I just use (wait (pick random)), the sprites usually don't appear at the top of the screen when I use scrolly+360*scrollno.

Re: Help with infinite scrolling
You will need to set a variable of the scroll Y when it first appears then use that instead of scroll no * 360
