Make everything active objects, and move them instead of the player.

Download TGF, or have it so objects are positioned x + 1 or x - 1 from themselves when you hold right/left.

I pulled it off very roughly in Spanky the Buttweasel 2, but that was for one stage only

Hey Kramy for the x+ whatever system i tried that but its not perfect cuz when my little active object character crashes into the active platforms he either gets pushed to the opposite side of the platforms or he goes through them. Whats up with that?

You need to add in a command (while player is not colliding with platform)+User presses etc etc. But you can't do that in KnP because it doesn't support the negate feature. When I get home later, I'll open up my old projects and tell you guys the solution for this.

I highly suggest getting TGF. It's capabilities are MUCH higher than those of KnP. It will make difficult/impossible things easy, and allows many new features.

See if you can get a copy of "Mr. Malibus" by Zellix (I think that was his name!  ). Open the game and learn! His scrolling engine is in KNP, and is PERFECT (And so is the game!).

Having used KnP for many years I found a few solutions. First, make all the platforms active, and put your character (they can be on regurlar platform movement) in the middle of the screen. Thn say that if Xcharacter>half the width of the play area + about 10 pixels set x coordinates of the platforms to their own x coorinates - about 4 pixels, and move your character back in the same way (Xcharacter-4). Do this for both directions and the Y axis and you have a platform engine. You don't need to wrorry about not scrolling when the character collides; just tell the collisions to stop the character and it'll work. But beware; if the platforms go too far off the screen they'll auto-delete, so you'll have to make the levels quite small.
Why the hell am I on the computer at 1 in the morning? No, don't answer.

It's tricky as TGF has no negate.
