Hello, I'm new to Scratch. I have a problem I haven't been able to find help with. I was wondering how you could press two keys at the same time and have it work correctly. For example, when you want to jump up and go left at the same time, how do you do that without having to press the keys one at a time? It just seems like it would be more convenient to have the sprite doing two things at once without having to stall in between pressing buttons.

Hi, if you have your movement's script (including jump) inside a forever loop, take out the jump and use

There are different ways in which you can do this but it depends on how you want it so i will give you script for both ways
if you want it where they can jump but must press the left keys multiple times to keep moving left use this

However if you want smooth left movement use

Here is how I would do it:

Let me show you a working example https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/119956269/

Thank you all for your help, I appreciate it!

You can use broadcasting too!

i have trouble too with this and none of the examples are working

How about this?

That could work actually. I can test the script to see if it works.

That won't work smoothly. The forever script runs better.

This will make it so you can hold both keys at a time and have it go diagonal, although technically it's not, it's moving too fast for you to see anyway.

oy oy thanks for the help my dudes

Here's the best idea that can be done.

Thanks! but nothing works.

please make your own topic.
you are more likely to get an answer that way.

THIS IS A PROBLEM I'M FACING
What if you have a condition for example, if black color touched then stop doing this action and do this action. With one key pressed it works fine, but when i tried adding two keys to move the tank diagonally, the tank moved fine, until it touched black, when it did so it would surpass them. To see my problem I'm putting the link to my game, if you find the right code please remix it and send the link to me by replying to this post. Thank you. ^_^

Please make your own topic. The last reply was from 2018, so your post is considered a “necropost”.

Sorry about that…
