Just for a little ‘spare time’ project, I've been trying to make a kind of bare-bones shell of a game. My biggest problem at the moment, is that the script I have written to change the background based on the x-value of the controlled object will not function if there is anything to do with turning – I have had it so that left and right arrow control turning, and so that it tracks the mouse; both of these have led to the script being unresponsive – without any sort of turning script, the background change works fine, however.

I'm sure its something incredibly simple that I'm missing, but I am just perplexed, anyone got a tip? I'll happily answer any questions, if it'll help.

You can still link with this piece of code:

For example:

Anyway, I think I might see the issue. Whenever you're turning, and move, you're moving odd amounts left/right, not whole amounts. So, (x position) is most likely never going to equal -220. There is a simple fix to this though. Instead of looking at the x position, try this:

(round (x position))

If the problem persists, though, just tell me. ;)

Also, hello Dragaroth and welcome to Scratch! I wish you a wonderfully good time here!

Warm welcomes,

There is also a possibility that your costume is not centered, which is causing you issues when you turn. Scratch won't let the costume go totally off the screen.

alright, thank you both very much, soon as its not midnight and I'm not slothing up, I'll try it out (it helps if I have access to the file, as well) and report back!

and thanks for the warm welcome Ernie, I've dabbled before, but just didn't have a reason to post on the forums, hope I continue to!

alright, reporting in, the fix is perfect, (fairly) smooth transition to other screens, thank you VERY much Ernie!
