I did everything it said in the Griffpatch tutorial for scrolling platformer part 1
I need an answer.
I fixed the scroll x variables while a couple of people looked. But something is still wrong.

You're setting SCROLL X to x, and so x - SCROLL X = 0. Remove the part where you're doing that, this isn't caused by 3.0 (I think this is what you're trying to do)

Edit: nvm to this I guess LOL

I just removed that and It's still not functioning correctly, I'm linking the video while I'm at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sebnyhBsXug

Oh dude the x and y variables are local in his project xD meaning you had to check “for this sprite only” when making the variables, that's why (I can send a fixed file so you don't have to recreate the blocks, though please try to understand the code if you don't)

You can upload this to 3.0 and then add gravity

If you go to 10:20, you could see that he was able to use them in the “platforms” sprite
It seems to work now, but it makes no sense, how was he able to get x and y variables from another sprite if it was for the player sprite only?

It's because he duplicated the player sprite to create the platforms sprite, which resulted in the x and y variables also being local in the platforms sprite

Thanks for the explimation, but I'm worried if I run into a problem like this again, I won't figure out how to solve it (just like another tutorial I used where I was on part 4-5), + if I ask something on the “help with scripts” forums, most likely, no one is going to answer.

These tutorials would be more relevant if it weren't for them being made in Scratch 2.0.
