"go to x() y()" issues

I'm having problems with the “go to x() y()” block. I programed several sprites to recognize a variable and “go to x() y()” for ()secs but it won't appear at the desired coordinates. For one sprite the x coordinate only works for numbers 72 or larger and the y coordinate only works for numbers -54 of smaller. For another sprite x has to be at least 60 and y -45 or less. For yet another sprite it doesn't work for x values less than -1 or y values greater than 1. The last sprite has the same problem as the last.

Put more plainly:
sprite 1: will NOT go to x < 72, y > -54
sprite 2: will NOT go to x < 60, y > -45
sprite 3: will NOT go to x < -1, y > 1
sprite 4: will NOT go to x < -1, y > 1

I have 2 more sprites that will have similar scripts that I have yet to create but I anticipate something similar will happen to them.

I isolated each of these sprites and experimented until I found these limits. I checked through all the scripts and didn't find anything that might cause these issues. I can provide screenshots on request if that would help.

I am a new Scratcher and this is really frustrating, does anyone have a solution to the problem or a way around it. I think I could adjust the center so that it would appear where I wanted as long as its coordinates meet the limits I just described.

If you are curious, I am trying to make a version of Tic Tac Toe for 3 players or so. It is three dimensional and adds a game of Tic Tac Toe inside each spot of the larger board. I am trying to create something like chess notation but for Tic Tac Toe. There are 729 individual spots you could go so I am trying to come up with a creative way for the scripts to recognize where exactly you want to play without having to program each spot individually.

Thanks for any help!

"go to x() y()" issues

I don't exactly understand what you're saying. Screenshots would help. Change the costume center of the sprites to see what happens.

P.S: For the first two, you switched the greater than and less than signs.

Capsicum annuum.

Here are the screenshots, hope they help. Sorry about the mistake you pointed out, it will not go to x < 72, y > -54. I haven't tried changing their center yet but will reply once I do. Thanks for the help.

If you share your project, it would be easier to see what is happening.
