How do I make a sprite appear at a random position at the top border?
So the bit of script you have is not connected to a header block so can be run manually but doesn't run with the project.
You don't have 90 costumes so costume# can never be 90!

I think I understand that, so a header block are blocks like this:
when green flag clicked
when [ v] key pressed

Nope, put a when flag is clicked block on top of that script and it stilll doesn't work.

The way you're using
is checking for the costume # of the target sprite 909.
What you want to know is if
Which would mean you are punching.
Also pay attention to the difference between costume# and costume name. The name is any name you give it (could be a number) but the number is which one is it from the list 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. Also don't name things similar names like 909 and 099.
With just a flag it only checks once when green flag clicked. It needs a flag and forever or you can put it in with the other forever right above it.

What you want to know is if
([ costume #] of [poopoloobalab v]) = 2
Which would mean you are punching.

I really and truly appreciate it. I know I've said it so many times, but I really am.
I put everyone on this threads name in the credits, and you can check the game out on my profile.
-Warning, it is pretty bad, but it's the best I can do at this point.

To make a sprite spawn form wherever at the top of the screen and go to the bottom use this code
when green flag clicked
go to x: (pick random (-205) to (205)) y: (147)
forever
change y by (-4.2)
if <touching [ edge] ?> then
go to x: (pick random (-205) to (205)) y: (147)
change y by (-4.2)
end
end
