Q&A for How to Make Your Character Move on Scratch

Your character can go up with this code: When green flag clicked forever if up arrow pressed change y by 10.

If you want the sprite to move, then use the following code: When green flag clicked forever if up arrow pressed change y by 10, if right arrow pressed change x by 10, if left arrow pressed change x by -10, and if down arrow pressed change y by -10. [If you want it to go faster or slower, change the numbers in code.]

"Change x by" . Use the change x by block to change the sprite horizontally.

The character which moves on the stage is called a sprite. You can change the sprite's costume, and do what you want with it.

If you want to make it feel like a jump from a higher place, you can use this code: my variable>jump then make a new variable my variable>hop and similarly do it with a name turn.Now, when green flag clicked then forever jump and add turn and then add hop.Now you can make a sprite come down after a jump automatically.

Make your character glide up, then glide down to its original position again.

Your character shouldn't move left when you press the left arrow key anyway. You need to create a code to make them do this.

Take the bat sprite that Scratch has provided, then make a few minor edits (e.g. change the color, edit the shape).

When (button) is pressed [or clicked depending on what you want to do], switch to costume (number). If you have multiple costumes, put a wait block (0.5 to 0.03 works best) between each one to make it fluid.

Make very fast wait blocks (less than a second, 0.5 to 0.03) and create multiple costumes. You put a wait block between every costume with the same wait time.

Check the code, if the code is messed up, try to fix the code and it will probably work. You probably mixed up the change y to change x. If it doesn't help, press F5 to reload the page.
