My sprite is going through the black.


Can anyone help me?

That's one of the common scrolling problems. Scratch doesn't let a sprite go completely off the screen even if the x, y coordinates you give it should make it go off. Various fixes are to add a border around the edge to cover the showing edges of sprites, detect when the x position is far enough over to then hide the sprite or adding transparent edges to the sprite so that the visible bits do go off stage. Find a scroller you like the look of and see how they do it for ideas.

I see you edited your post. I an not sure if you changed your question, but the previous answer doesn't appear to be related to your current question. In answer to this question, if you change your code to IF TOUCHING BLACK, SET Y VEL to 1, instead of the 0, you currently have takes care of most of your problems. It doesn't work with the “cave” that you currently have in your project.

Which part? The editing part, is because drmcw's answer is about what to do when your sprite gets near the edge of the screen.

As far as the code change, look at your code and you should see what I said.

Look at my remix. The only place it goes through the wall is the cave on the right. Is this what you are seeing?
