i figured you can do this with custom blocks, but it'll just disappear as soon as the sprite is considered outside the project, i want a sprite to be able to go off screen, not disappear

What do you mean? Do you want something to appear off the project window? If so thats impossible. But if you just want something to go off screen just use a really big sprite and quickly swap sprites to it, move and switch back.

a sprite that can go beyond the project frame

Yes, the method provided will allow a sprite to go beyond the project boundaries.

It's simpler than that, just make a big rectangle around your sprite that's not colored, sprite looks the same, needs no code, and still works.

use vars for x + y. hide sprite when offscreen. the vars set will continue going

you can use a variables to track what X and Y position a sprite is and if it passes the limit that you considered “off screen” hide the sprite until it is in the boundaries that is in the screen

When the sprite reaches its border its last 15 pixels are visable and if the sprite is way bigger it has less pixels visable so make it when sprite is touching edge make it super big and change its x or y by whatever you want!

or you can do what josh does

Please don’t necropost. Thanks!

I know this is a necropost, but I feel like we should post something “useful” to this thread.

So here is a script to make your sprites go completely off screen.

go to pos x: [1234567890] pos y: [y]

define go to pos x: (x) pos y: (y)
switch costume to (0x0 vector image v)
set size to ((1) / (0))
go to x: (x) y: (y)
switch costume to (original costume v)
set size to (100)%
 

It's code based rather than a random huge square around the original costume. But it works.

You can make sprites go of screen by putting dots at the outer corners of the sprite box

try this

when [timer v] > (-1)
forever
switch costume to [big v]
switch costume to (id)
end

make id for this sprite only and use variables to change
