My sprite will not move in scratch even though the script is


When (left arrow) is pressed move -10 steps
and
When (right arrow) is pressed move 10 steps

I have no other scripts in the sprite related to movement ,or placement, I just have costumes and when to show ,or hide.\
I checked other sprites and can't find out what is wrong!

Also, the jump script is broke too.

My sprite will not move ,or jump in scratch even though the script is

when [ left arrow] key pressed
move (-10) steps


When I click the buttons it moves left about 1 step really fast and then stops. This has never happened before.

It moves after I press stop, but when it starts it doesn't move.

Other sprites move when I press left or right but not this one.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but try this out:

When left arrow key pressed
Forever
Point in direction -90 (for left)
Move 10 steps

Repeat this for the other controls.
I hope this helps, I studied the scripts of your game for a while, and this seems like the only way to fix it.

I answered this question a little earlier, but here it is in a little more detail. I don't know the problem, but try this script out.

when [ left arrow] key pressed

point in direction ( -90)
move (10) steps

he just flips upside down until I press left then he goes back to where he was at first

The “When key pressed” event block is not ideal for controls. Try this instead:

when I receive [start v] //broadcast this when the game starts
set rotation style [left-right v] //this allows him to turn around
forever
  if <key [left arrow v] pressed?> then
    point in direction (-90 v)
    move (10) steps
  end
   if <key [right arrow v] pressed?> then
    point in direction (90 v)
    move (10) steps
  end
end

when [left arrow v] key pressed
repeat until <not<key [left arrow v] pressed?>
point in direction (-90 v)
move (10) steps
end

The “when…” event blocks fire once, then pause, then fire continually. This is suboptimal for a control-scheme. By repeating the movement until the key is not pressed (i.e. released), you consistently move as long as the key is pressed.

In order to make the sprite not turn when telling it to point in another direction you need to use the motion block

set rotation style [ None]

this should work

Also here is a script that has worked better for me than the script your using to move the sprite.

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <key [ left arrow] pressed?> then
    
point in direction ( -90)
move (-10) steps
end

end

Please don't make duplicate topics - it gets very confusing. I've merged all the ones I could find back into this one.

Just "bump" them by adding a new post to them if you want to bring them back to the top of the forum directory
