I asked this in /helpwithscripts/ but everyone got really confused for some reason.
Is there a way to make a sprite strafe?
As in move sideways relative to the sprite, rather than x and y.
Just in case, here's an example:
I want the sprite to be pointing this way:
And moving this way:

Probably like this:
define strafe left (n) // without screen-refreshOr you could do this for more control:
turn ccw (90) degrees
move (n) steps
turn cw (90) degrees
define strafe right (n) // without screen-refresh
turn cw (90) degrees
move (n) steps
turn ccw (90) degrees
define strafe (n) steps direction (d)Hope I helped!
turn cw (d) degrees
move (n) steps
turn ccw (d) degrees

Trigonometry is the best way as it doesn't require rotating the sprite before moving it.
define move (n) steps in direction (d)
go to x: ((x position) + (([sin v] of (d)) * (n))) y: ((y position) + (([cos v] of (d)) * (n)))

That's a bit more advanced though and may confuse Scratchers who don't know how to use trigonometry. 
Then again, this is the advanced topics.

define strafe left (t) steps
change x by ((t) * ([sin v] of ((direction) - (90))) // Think of it as pointing -90 and moving forward
change y by ((t) * ([cos v] of ((direction) - (90)))
define strafe right (t) steps
change x by ((t) * ([sin v] of ((direction) + (90))) // Think of it as pointing 90 and moving forward
change y by ((t) * ([cos v] of ((direction) + (90)))

Note that changing x and y individually will make any pen marks in a jagged fashion. It probably won't be an issue in most cases but is something to keep in mind if you plan on using the pen.

Trigonometry is the best way as it doesn't require rotating the sprite before moving it.Perfect! Thanks for the math help.define move (n) steps in direction (d)
go to x: ((x position) + (([sin v] of (d)) * (n))) y: ((y position) + (([cos v] of (d)) * (n)))

I'll bet. Pen is finicky at best.Note that changing x and y individually will make any pen marks in a jagged fashion.

Are you able to make a strafing script wit variables?Can you adjust the speed of the strafe?

Actually I have no idea about the more blocks section.I always avoided it when possible

What if I am using… (The trigonometry)
point towards [mouse-pointer v]Either I am very dumb or it doesn't work like that, also, do you put it on the button you use to usually turn? (Like if I were using WASD and A was turn 90 degrees.)

Please don't necropost (post on an old topic).Asking a question related to an old topic is fine.
Maybe learn about what “necroposting” is okay before requesting someone doesn't necropost at all?

(Like if I were using WASD and A was turn 90 degrees.)
Trigonometry is the best way as it doesn't require rotating the sprite before moving it.To move sideways to the sprite, you would use the block like this:define move (n) steps in direction (d)
go to x: ((x position) + (([sin v] of (d)) * (n))) y: ((y position) + (([cos v] of (d)) * (n)))
move (20) steps in direction ((direction) - (90)) :: custom
And yeah, you would put it on the button you use to turn.

hate to be a necromancer,but
its not working for me. the sprite just goes towards the corners

tbh yeah
but like im in 9th grade and i get it perfectly and dont even know what trigonometry is
in fact ive applied this quite a few times in stuff like raycasters (i made a maze-like one in smilebasic and i also made one in computercraft (minecraft))
