Enemies moving in scrolling!
I want an enemy to move in my scrolling game, but whenever I program it to, the
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
Set x to scrollx + 480*1
<end>
script messes up the movement.
Please help!!!!!!!

[When Green flag pressed]

[when green flag clicked]
[set position to (960)]
[forever]
[if <not dead> (add your statemnt)]
[][if <position < (maxBounds)>]
[][][if position > (lowerBounds)>]

You can add other stuff too, if you want.
Back in my day.... there were no laws that censored the internet... now, there are.... nah.

Re: Enemies moving in scrolling!
Just in case that doesn't work I'll try and explain it
What I would do is make the enemies move as you would normally want them to move if the game didn't scroll at all, and then add in the scrolling feature.
So say your enemy runs from the left to right by going
(forever){
Change "xPos" by ( )
set x to "xPos
}
then you just need to add in the xScroll variable too.
(forever){
Change "xPos" by ( )
set x to "xPos +/- "xScroll"
}
it's +/- because depending on which way you've done the scrolling it will be different.
Hope that if the previous statement didn't help then that one does
