Problem with trying to wait for a single part of the code

wolfbomb

I'm trying to make a flappy bird-like game. I want the pipes to only move after waiting for a couple of seconds, allowing the player to be situated and ready. If I use a wait block it stops everything. Is there a way to make the pipe movement script wait, but allow the player to still move?

Infinity is more a concept or idea. Infinity is the idea of a non-finite amount.
Basically, so big that we don't actually have a specific number for it.
Infinity is one of the coolest things in hypothetical mathematics.
The question I'm asking is, is infinity irrational?

What you can do is set a varible to time the movement like this(You might need to change the code a little to support your project)

forever
move (movement) steps

forever
if <player ready?> then 

  
set [movement v] to [-10 or what ever speed it goes]

else
set [movement v] to [0]
end
end
end

You can also make this change the speed after time like this:

forever
if <[pipes passed] > [4]> then
change [movement v] by (-5)
end
end

You want to keep them negative so that the pipes move left.
I hope that helped!

Sorry, you have to wait 60 seconds between posts.

Fact time! I have eaten a kumquat before! It was not good :P

Thanks for the help. That solution seems obvious now that I think about it. hindsight is 20/20 lmao.
