How do you make functional arrows you can press with your mouse to go left and right with for a program?

Hello Scratchers who has seen this:

I am having trouble finding inspirations of projects that will help me out with what I want to do. I need help making arrows that will be clicked will make you go left or right in. I have not seen any other projects which sepcifically did this and I want to stand out of having a unique project with a unique way of having people travel through it like that.

Would anyone would like to help me out?

Sincerely,

In those buttons:

when this sprite clicked //right button
change [x v] by (5)

when this sprite clicked //left button
change [x v] by (-5)

when green flag clicked //main sprite to be controlled
forever
go to x: (x) y: (y position)
end

Of course, you could do better by replacing those when this sprite clicked into a forever if touching mouse pointer and mouse down in a forever loop

Please consider checking out my suggestion ->here<-.

Hello, I’m Wei-ern_520, and I will randomly appear in your room! Just kidding, I make rpg engines.

I have no custom pfp, not because I don't know how to make one. I just don't know what suits me best, and I'm just too lazy and prefer sticking to simplicity. Or at least so. I also have the need to trip people with my profile picture. Just wait till it happens.

Fun fact: you don't clean your mess, you move it somewhere else. (Source: somewhere)

Also: Ooh, look at the cheese!

Here!
Right button

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(mouse down) and (Touching [mouse-pointer]?)> then
Change (x) by (5)
end
end

Left button is the same but with -5 instead of 5

Up:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(mouse down) and (Touching [mouse-pointer]?)> then
Change (y) by (5)
end
end

Down is same but -5

Player:

when green flag clicked
forever
go to x: (x) y: (y)
end

That’s all the advice I have, unless you are making a scrolling platformer! Then put the go x y thing in a backdrop sprite.

some know me as the guy who only posted in suggestions
i have returned once more

Lamp oil, rope, bombs. You want it? It’s yours my friend. As long as you have enough rupies.

You have to use this:

if <<key [up arrow or which key u want] pressed?>> then

move (how many u want) steps
end
