How to make your sprite move left and right

joshly50

To make your sprite move left and right follow this script

To move right

Go to events and drag block called (When space key pressed) change it to (When right arrow key pressed)
Then go to motion and drag move 10 steps and change it to 30 and snap the blocks together.

To move left

Go to events and drag block called (When space key pressed) change it to (When left arrow key pressed)
Then go to motion and drag move 10 steps and change it to -30 and snap the blocks together.

This is correct.
But you can add some fun.

For instance just try with the cat:

The cat will move 30 steps but you will see it move its feet.

There is a much better way than that.

Hope this helps

Yes the if key pressed option allows for a faster response. If that isn't needed or not suitable for your project, then the when key pressed block does the job.

Those could be combined into one, more efficient script.

Using

isn't very good as it doesn't work very well. Sometimes it moves once, stops, then moves forward again. As other people said, you should do something like this:

Maybe through in a

in there.

X and Y are the coordinates of the location of the sprite as you probably already know.
Here is the most efficient way to make a sprite move left and right:

Hope I helped you!
You will find that most of my projects use those scripts that I gave you.

sorry, I made a mistake.

You just need When Flag Clicked change x by (how ever much you want). If you want it to go left make it a minus number

When you make a post, look at the icons above the bit where you type. One of those is a small blue block with a down arrow next to it. Click on there and you can then click on the blocks. Alternatively, you can do what I do and type them manually.
