I am making a project and I want one of my sprite to do this

But when I put in a x and y axis it goes into a totally different place. How do I figure out what numbers to put? And I looked on the bottom right hand corner of the screen where it says the x and y axis. I really need help!!

If you drag that sprite to the place you want it, in the top right-hand corner of the Scratch blocks place, you can see the x and y coordinates. If you are looking at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, that is where your mouse is, not the sprite. I hope that helps!

Now that I added that I want to put

Then:

But it is not working. Why? Can you help?

Can you share the project? What's the broadcast name that's for the “when I receive” block?

I would rather not share it when I am not even close to done. Also it is message2 or something. I fixed it though

That's fine, just be more descriptive when you need help.

I was descriptive thank you very much

Sometimes I have trouble getting sprites to go where I want because the center of the costume is off.

When you're in the costumes tab, with a picture of the sprite showing, you might also notice a small cross in the middle of the checkerboard background. This is the center of the costume, and that is the point that will go to the coordinates in the go-to block. So if the center is off, the sprite will go to the side of the coordinates listed, not directly on top of it.

There is a “Set costume center” button in the far upper right corner in vector mode–two black axes will appear, and you can click where you want the center to be.
