Great! How do I have the game change backgrounds when going in a certain stage?

[@griffpatch]

Add a when receive Change Scene in the backdrop sprite, and using an IF ELSE to switch backdrop when SCENE # = the special scene's number. You'll have to remove the other background switching script in their that makes the scene red on collisions.

[@text.txtext]

@@griffpatchi think this trick might work: that was naming the backdrop to the specific scene number

The fact that the game is called *Appel* and we just used Apples as collectibles is coincidental-

[@siyahseeker]

This is cool. Not every game has to have scrolling, and these type of games are much easier to create and play around in. Besides, the player might not know what to expect in your game because there are so many branching paths and different obstacles in each scene. I call it "screen-by-screen" gameplay.

[@AnarchyTime]

Yay 1 minutesago thanks for the turtorial :) This looks like a long one!

[@laackofpaack8255]

I think to clone the apples with the place block easier, you could make another broadcast named “Place Apples” and bring the Place block triggers under it, broadcast it when it receives Setup. Edit: it could also be another custom block though

[@dragondude7107]

I think enemies and a way to defeat them (other than just jumping on them) would be really cool. But don't feel pressured by anyone, you can do whatever you want.

I used this script to make a scrolling platformer with clouds and secrets that are needed to get to the next world I thought that level sprite switching costumes was a little boring so I toss it up a notch making the doors and collectables render in and move when on screen was the best part

The reason all those sounds match the word "oops" is because they have the Loops tag in the source code, which also matches the word "oops".

How would I include the sounds of footsteps? The running scripts have gotten a bit more confusing than left goes left, right goes right. Thank you so much for the incredible amount of work you've put into helping all 150,000 of us in need of help. Love your videos!

[@alexanp7958]

im brainless when it comes to coding but i figured out a way to add footsteps and a jump sound you have to go someplace in the controls for each desired section although i cant remember those places due to being unable to run my game properly so i had to delete them but the best alternative to footsteps is: make a sound similar to stepping in sand MAKE SURE ITS ONLY ONE FOOTSTEP and then tweak however you like and make sure its in a forever loop until you let go of the keys

[@animye0322]

You're Underated I like your tutorials so much!

[@kotucheniy5527]

you can just name the sounds which different collectables should do the same as the collectables themselves. you can then play sound costume name.for example, you could rename the chomp sound as "apple", and then play sound costume name, which will also be "apple". it will involve less hardcoding this way.

[@user-tq7oz3bc7u]

So good!

[@Drachenbauer]

i apply the outline and shadow in the gameloop: under the other broadscasts there at first an eraser block from that drawing-addon, than a broadcast for the effects. Al sprites recive the broadcast and run their effects-blocks- So i could apply the effects to moving stuff too. And because of this i never use hide and show, because this causes black stamps of hidden objects, where they should not appear. I switch between the needed costume and an empty one instead. for the items i made a variable for this sprite only, that stores the costume-name as item type for each clone so i can give it always the right costume if i need to show it. And i made a little change for the up and down pulsing of the items: At the top of their "start as a clone"-script i store their y-position in an "old y"-variable for this sprite only and than i set their y position (instead of change) to ((old y) + ((9) * ([sin ▼] of (frame)))) this makes it puls between exact 9 pixels above and below the y-position-input. So if you maybe create a tiled level design, you can place the collectables exactly in the middle of a tile position and you can make it stop and reverst it´s movement right before touching the top and bottom tile-edges by adjusting the value, that is 9 in my sample.

[@hacker_guy1000]

Do you know if there is anyway to have the shadow script running on the player without overriding the shadow script for my level sprite. My player shadow is erasing the level shadow and outline and I can't figure out how to have them both work because there is no erase all for a specific sprite

[@neptune7682]

fun fact: the null room is place that can exist! if you make a level costume called "level" without any numbers, you can set up a floor and mess around with the collectables that have been transported there. you can only access it within the code though, so it's still a different dimension.

[@Street_Productions123]

And then give it look like the backrooms 😂
