Eng:Movement

Translate: - English 

A sprite blurring with movement.

Movement is used to show action. It is easy to make different types of movement on scratch. Projects with movement commonly use the Change X by (), Change Y by (), and Move () Steps blocks. They are used in almost every Scratch project.

Following the Mouse

It is easy to script an object following the mouse. It is commonly used for top down games. It looks best to set the rotation style to "Full rotation".

 when gf clicked // Starts the script.
forever // Makes it so the movement will keep going.
point towards [mouse-pointer v] // Aims for the mouse.
move (10) steps // Moves.

Top-Down Arrow Keys movement

This engine gives the player more control over where they move. It is an alternative to the mouse following engine.

when gf clicked // Starts the script.
forever // Allows movement to be repeated.
if <key [up arrow v] pressed> then // Detects an input.
change y by (5) // Moves in the wanted direction.
end // (Same goes for the rest.)
if <key [down arrow v] pressed> then
change y by (-5)
end
if <key [right arrow v] pressed> then
change x by (5)
end
if <key [left arrow v] pressed> then
change x by (-5)
end

Velocity Movement

A more detailed version of the others. This works from a sideways platformer perspective.

when gf clicked // Starts the script.
forever // Allows movement to be repeated.
if <key [right arrow v] pressed> then // Detects an input.
change [X Velocity v] by (1) // Moves in the wanted direction.
end // (Same goes for left movement.)
if <key [left arrow v] pressed> then
change [X Velocity v] by (-1)
end //
set [X Velocity v] to ((X Velocity) * (0.9)) // Slowly slows down speed.
change x by (X Velocity) // Makes the sprite move.
