I have seen people using this block: xposition of Sprite1

Now I know how to get all the basic scrolldowns like x position, y position, direction and so on but i don't know how to get others.

For example, in my newest game Kitten Cannon, paddle2see was trying to help me put in angles. he told me all the scripts and i did them except one part. He used trig and in one part he used a block like the sensing block i am talking about except instead of having the basic scrolldowns, it included something else which i could not make. It said Barrelength of Sprite1. I have also seen others like in Archknghts project Archknight's Adventure to use collision detection he used one of those sensing blocks with a centerhittest of sprite1 All i am asking is how do u get those kind of scroll downs and how can you make them work?

Those are variables of that sprite. If you create a variable that is only used for that sprite, then it will appear on the () of sprite 1.

For example: If you made the variable "Score" on sprite 1. If you were to go to sprite 2 and take out that block; if you selected sprite 1, you could select the score of sprite 1.

You have to select the sprite from the second dropdown box first, that's quite confusing.

Yeah so for example, if Player 1 has 2 variables called xVel and yVel, Player 2 can use that block as xVel of Player 1, or x position of Player 1

You're not stupid...it's not a well documented feature and it is a bit complicated to understand. Sorry I didn't explain it better...I didn't understand what you were asking.
