off screen sprites

It would be really nice if a sprite could go conpletly off screen.  when doing scrolling games some of the platforms just stay at the edge and don't look very good

Re: off screen sprites

You have no idea how much I want that. I've actually made a lot of scrolling games, but I haven't actually finished any of them. I might finish one soon.

I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: off screen sprites

That is a really good idea. I used a script to do this in my game, Super Bowser Galaxy, but if it did it by itself, that would be great.

Re: off screen sprites

It would be easier yes but there other ways to do scrolling, with the same features

Re: off screen sprites

Actually, in the shared version, the projects can go off-screen  big_smile

Re: off screen sprites

if X>240 OR X<-240
Hide
Else
Show
It is a bit glitchy but should work
