BlahBlahRatSheep · 2010-12-24 15:43:00

may you say what kind of way you wanna move things in your game?:3

Beginner Movement is best done like

<when[ up arrow ]key pressed>
<change y by( 10

<when[ down arrow ]key pressed>
<change y by( -10

<when[ right arrow ]key pressed>
<change x by( 10

<when[ left arrow ]key pressed>
<change x by( -10

Sprite motion is caused with motion blocks (the blocks on the left that are blue and labeled "Motion").

For smooth controlled bird's-eye-view motion, use this:

Sometimes it's better to not use velocity though.

True, but velocity is smoother.

Yes, velocity is smoother, but I think for a new scratcher it would be simpler to start with just changing X and Y, or pointing in a direction and moving a certain amount of steps/pixels. For that, you might do something like this:

Also, if you wanted to make it never look up or down, you would click the left/right facing arrow to the left of the sprite picture at the top of the screen.
Hope this helps! wink

But how would the learn then? I guess it would be a good way start, though...

<move( 5 )steps> <-- this will make it move in the direction it's facing by 5

<point towards( <-- this will make it point towards a sprite, or the mouse pointer

<change x by( this will change the x veloxity

etc etc

Oh my, it seems your text is glitched. hmm But yes, Those are scripts you can build off of.

Here is how I make things move. It is very simple:

<when[ right arrow ]key pressed>
<move( 10 )steps>

<when[ left arrow ]key pressed>
<move( -10 )steps>

<when[ up arrow ]key pressed>
<change y by( 10

<when[ down arrow ]key pressed>
<change y by( -10
