would the second sprite be an enemy, or another player?
P.S. why not just keep this in the topic sprite animation, intend of starting a new topic. it keeps the topic list less clutter y.

Yeah, I know. One of the moving sprites is the background, but the enemies need to move as well.

IF I were you I'd set a timer variable set to 10 centi-secounds, or something better (depending on the speed you want) and then in the block you type:

x = x - #
SPRITE 2 (backround) x y data

to make the background move, and you'd need the code for random enemy spawns.
I would do it this way and then have extra levels on different cards. So that you can still have a MAX of 8 enemies.

I'd like to make it using spritepath, but two spritepaths can't go at once.

Know how to make one thing scroll like ten times through the background?

P.S. My brother's really mad at GM. He just speant like 1 1/2 hours making a map like 10000 pixels long and it doesn't scroll right.

The way I did a scrolling BG was to copy the beginning of the sprite (one length of the screen) and paste that on the end. Then when it reaches the end, it looks exactly like the beginning and you can just move it back to where it started without the player noticing the jump.

Oh, He's only doing the art. And I don't really need it to happen on keydown or anything I just need it to keep scrolling in the background for a space shooter.

No :( I'm saying this is how you can make the scrolling smooth.
