What do you mean by “follows the player”?
If you're moving the player forward, you need to move the background assets the other direction the player is moving, then move the player back along with the background.

The wiki includes pages on scrolling and I have some basic introductory projects but you need to clarify what is required. In most scrollers the player doesn't actually move (or, for example moves up and down but horizontal movement is the background moving rather than the player). So does your player actually move or only the background?

so basically when you press the arrow key it moves the background in the other direction
put this script in the background

when [right arrow v] key pressed

move (-10) steps
