Sensing upward slopes...
In all my time playing scratch I have figured out how to do many things with it, but there's one thing I can't figure out. I already know how to make different "hiding" sprites to help the main sprite "sense" objects, but how do I make a sprite sense an upward slope and climb up it? Knowing how to do this would help me very much and help me finish some of my games I started long ago.
Oh, and please I would like to know the best way to do it. Not some way that just works, but one that will work the best. Thanks in advance, StrykerV.

Re: Sensing upward slopes...
Try making the character change his y position by the absolute value of how fast he's going horizontally. Then check from there immediately afterwards if he's touching the ground.
Do you know how to use velocity? If so, put this in a script:
Put the second, detached part into the "else" section however many times you want to change the degree between when a slope is a slope or a wall.

Abs stands for "absolute value". It's not that complex an idea, basically it's the positive of a number, no matter what.
Ex.
Abs(5)=5
Abs(-5)=5

Absolute value. It's helpful because if I'm moving right my xvelocity would be negative, and without the absolute value if I was going right up a slope, I would go downward instead of up.
