I'm trying to make a hitbox for a game, but the problem is that when I control the player, the hitbox always lags behind.

Usually I would do this:

when green flag clicked
forever
broadcast [Tick v]
end

when I receive [Tick v]
repeat (2)
go to [Player v]
end

It works every time, but this time it is not working for some reason. Please I need help!!!!!!

When you start the game, make it go to the player, but once the game starts, make the arrow keys (or whatever controls the player) control it as well the exact same way. In other words, copy and paste the movement scripts into the hitbox sprite.

i remade your code, and it works just as well to only once per tick. in fact, that's what's happening. your player is moving every tick, but the hitbox has to repeat something twice, so the hitbox is moving every two ticks. that's why it's lagging behind.

when I receive [tick v]
go to [player v]

problem solved.

No bruh, the reason I made it repeat twice is to STOP that from happening. Griffpatch discovered that doing that will fix the glitch, and like I said it worked for me every time. I don't know why it's not working THIS time though

…What's the context of your game?
