|Set X to ()|
The Set X to () block is a Motion block and a Stack block. The block changes its sprite's X position by the specified amount. This block, combined with the Set Y to () block, have the same effect as the Go to X: () Y: () block.
If a sprite must go to a certain place, and the sprite's Y position never changes, the Set X to () block can be used instead of the Go to X: () Y: () block - there is no need to set the Y position when it never changes.
Another common use of the block is X scrolling - the sprites have to constantly change their X. The Set X to () block is normally used here.
Other common uses are:
- Placing rocks randomly on a seabed
- Setting random locations for raindrops that will fall
- Resetting the X of a slider
