I'd really like to see your current movement scripts before I go anywhere. Could I see them?

With regards,

If your game uses the “move (10) steps” block in order to move forward, just use a negative number to walk backwards. Like “move (-10) steps”.

Hope this helps.

If you Dont use steps you can just make a program that changes the x

When down key pressed
Change x by -3

im trying to make a game where w is up, s is down, a is back, and d is forwards, the -10 one was the closest i got but it didnt work unless i hit d before it because -10 w is s and vice versa, an ideas?

Please don't necropost - the last message was nearly a year before yours. Create a new topic for your question instead.

Wait this was outdated? Never knew

Chose the “When ‘space’ key pressed” block and make adjustments so that one of these blocks says “When ‘left/down’ key pressed. Then add these blocks.
Left: ”Change x by -__“
Down:”Change y by -__"

The blanks stand for however many steps you want your sprite to take.

That's a less efficient way to do it, especially in a game. My suggestion is a bit better since there is no “jittering” when you hold the key, so you can easily move in a constant direction.

Apart the -10 steps you may also consider using some sort of previous costume. It should give a moon walk feeling. What do you think about this?

I'm sure they'll be relieved after waiting 3 years!

the negative 10 was helpful

Just copy the costume for walking forwards and then reverse it horizontally
