Hi, I've started a simple sidescrolling shootemup. THe problem I have is just scrolling. I want the screen to move towards the right the whole time, and the ship, when the screen almost goes past him, he gets "pushed" so that the ships is always in the screen. This is in all shootemups, but I cant seem to fix this.
Thanks in advance/ Tobbe

use an invisible detector at the edge of the screen you want it pushed from, and always set it's x position to x of the object plus something. and always set the scrolling position to a certain position from the detector.

Then, if the ship is overlapping the detector, set it's position to the same rate as the detector x moving speed

Or you could try:

x position of x(ship) is equal or lower than X left frame: Set x position of x(ship) to x + whatever

ok thanks, I will try that. Just before I do, is this for the actual game edge (ie size of the entire map) or just the edge of what you see? cus I was aiming for the later...

its the edge of what you see. If you type in something like "x left frame" that means the left edge of what you can see. Its not the whole frame size, just the scrolling area

Actually, thinking about it, my event could be modified to:

Position of X(ship) is lower or equal to x left frame:

then::

Set x position of x(ship) to x left frame + 4

-----

So if the ship starts to disappear off the left visible edge, then it will automatically be placed just after it. Good luck

No, not the left of the Active Object, the left of the frame. Find it in the Storyboard object.

I'll assume your ship is 100 pixels wide, and the hot spot is in the middle, 50 pixels in.
You need to do:

X position of Ship lower than X Left Frame + 50
: Set X position of Ship to X Left Frame + 50

That should be nice and smooth.

Yeah I fear those 1337 motherfuckers. As the wise old Yoda said, "fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate," and I do fucking hate them.

You also forgot "hate leads to suffering", i.e. the suffering of those 12-year-old punks when I subscribe them to certain adult magazines... in the post. "What's this, son?" Oh, the hilarity.
