It's probably undisputable that this is one of the most sought-after features people want in their game. I'm sure this will help countless scratchers - even I had trouble doing this before! But you make it so easy griffpatch. Thanks so much!

This is really helpful, thank you! For anyone else doing vertical scrolling, substitute 480 with 360, and obviously any x to y. Put the 2 dots on the top left and bottom left of your costumes. Also if you have more than 2 costumes, put the clone, next costume, and change variable block in a loop with however many costumes you have.

you can change the code so you dont have to scroll the slider.The best method would be " forever if key d or right arrow key pressed then change cam x by 1"
