[@griffpatch]

One thing to note if you are having problems The Level sprite must have a 'clear' transparent background, no filled background behind the player. If you want a background behind the player, this must remain in the stage backdrop. ALSO - If the player is not moving off screen, try reducing the "IF x position > 235" to something just a little less until it works (Try > 230)

13:13 Fun fact: Instead of having to select everything using Ctrl + A (Cmd + A for Mac) then flipping it horizontally/vertically, if you flip a costume/backdrop horizontally/vertically without selecting ANYTHING at all, it flips the whole costume/backdrop horizontally/vertically!

At 18:05 why don't you add a check to ensure that the SCENE # variable doesn't go below 1? Because if you're in scene one and your X Position is < 235, the Scene # variable will become 0 😬 _edit:_ Nevermind you fixed it at 29:59! :P

Never mind I fixed it. For people who have this problem too, this is what I did: I made a custom block. Under define I did change size to 20% under that I did go to x-136 and then wait 0.0001 sec and then change size to 100%. and then I made another script: Forever loop, if x position = and then the furthest x coordinate that I can go into the wall (it didn’t reach till -235) and then wait 0.1 (this is to prevent that you get instant teleported back) and then the custom block under the wait block. Also griffpatch you helped me with a lot of my projects, keep going❤❤.

11:58 Actually, I don’t.

I also want to have it so when the sprite is in the middle of the stage Y-wise, the screen will scroll the same way it would with x. And I’d also like for them to both work at the same time

Hey, griffpatch! I have a problem: I don't want to prevent a collision bug, but when the scene changes with a different platform position, I want the character to NOT change the scene. I maybe know how to fix that, but I rather listen to your suggestion. So HOW do I NOT change the scene when the next scene platform can make the character stuck?

[@OCSreal]

If you want it so the player cant go back to the previous scene, make a wall in the level sprite where that scene is and make it only a few pixels wide so the player doesnt get stuck in the wall

[@woefulkebab5534]

Soooooooooooooo helpful, I really needed this! Brilliant.😄😄😄😄😄

[@chibacha21_CarBoi]

I have a few recommendations here to slightly improve this code: 1. If the fix collisions loop still doesn't work with 128 tries, you can swap the repeat loop for a "repeat until" loop that has the input "touching < 1" so that the loop repeats until the problem is solved. 2. You can solve the problem addressed at the end of the video without using walls! Just use "if else" brackets in each part of the existing "if else" bracket in the change scene script. The input for the top one is "scene # < (insert your last scene number here)", so that scene # only increases when the player isn't on the last level. As for the bottom one, use the input "scene # > 1", which makes scene # stay the same when on the 1st scene and the player is on the left side. Lastly, to reduce lag, add "stop this script" in each of the else parts of the brackets. I hope this helps! 😁
