Let me cut to the chase; I want a sprite to move upwards/downwards with the other, but it's not working! Here are the scripts:

Bouncy ball (Thing that's moving):

when gf clicked
go to x:(0) y:(0)
repeat until (((y position) = [170]) or ((y position) > [170]))
	change y by (3)
	wait [1.0E-14] secs
end
forever
	if (((y position) = [170]) or ((y position) > [170])) then
		repeat until (((y position) = [-170]) or ((y position) < [-170]))
			change y by (-3)
			wait [1.0E-14] secs
		end
	end
	if (((y position) = [-170]) or ((y position) < [-170])) then
		repeat until (((y position) = [170]) or ((y position) > [170]))
			change y by (3)
			wait [1.0E-14] secs
		end
	end
end

when gf clicked
forever
 set [bouncy ball position v] to (y position)
end

Thing that's moving with the Bouncy ball:

when gf clicked
forever
	if ((([y position v] of [bouncy ball v]) = [170]) or (([y position v] of [bouncy ball v]) > [170])) then
		repeat until ((([y position v] of [bouncy ball v]) = [-170]) or (([y position v] of [bouncy ball v]) < [-170]))
			set y to ((bouncy ball position) - (50))
		end
	end
	if ((([y position v] of [bouncy ball v]) = [-170]) or (([y position v] of [Sprite2 v]) < [-170])) then
		repeat until ((([y position v] of [bouncy ball v]) = [170]) or (([y position v] of [bouncy ball v]) > [170]))
			set y to ((bouncy ball position) + (50))
		end
	end
end

Someone please help!

You put

if ((([y position v] of [bouncy ball v]) = [170]) or (([y position v] of [bouncy ball v]) = [170])) then

I think you mean

if ((([y position v] of [bouncy ball v]) = [170]) or (([y position v] of [bouncy ball v]) > [170])) then

That seem so much unnecessary code. For the ball;

point in direction [0 v]
forever
move (3) steps
if on edge bounce
end

for the follower

forever
set y to ([y position v] of [ball sprite v])
end

Oh, this should be simple, and you're actually overcomplicating this. Just use this simple script:

when gf clicked
forever
  set y to ((bouncy ball position) + (50))

That will move the bouncy ball above your first sprite. And if you want to move it to the left/right, you'll have to add in another variable, just like (bouncy ball position), but with the x Position now. Or are you wanting something else?

By the way, if you'd like to see a project in action, you could visit this project.

Then it would'n't work, after the sprites reach the top, they'll stay there.

I want the thing that follow's the bouncy ball to go lower when the ball is going down.

Fixed it. Also, applied to my test, but it can only go down.

have you tried it? I think you'll find it will bounce because of the if on edge bounce block!

Even though it bounces, it still points in direction 0

No, the bounce block will change the direction otherwise it wouldn't bounce. It's not many blocks, why don't you try it?
If you want the follower to change its direction too then you can add to its loop;

point in direction  ([direction v] of [ball sprite v] )

I want to make go to the side, too, so that won't work.

That's not what you asked initially, but It will if you point it in the right direction and you could just use go to ball sprite! .

I do'n't want the thing that follow's the bouncy ball to actually go to the ball either, I just want them to have the same y position. sorry for the tall order.

Then just use the first script I wrote. You don't have to start the ball pointing straight up but can point it whatever direction you want, I only put that in because most sprites default to pointing right so there would be no up/down movement at all..

Your right, it worked! Sorry for not trying earlier.
