Scratch

I'm sorry I don't understand what your talking about I never did that kinda stuff

Okay, maybe i can clear this up by instead of posting code(Which I'm still new at:)), I'll type a certain goal.


The Goal:


What i want it to have this sprite called "multiplier" appear once it receives a message that a certain level(for example, level 1) and start going to certain x/y coordinates.

But, IF it is clicked, i want it to stop, play a sound, and go to 0,0 and get 200% bigger, then disappear.(Of course, I want it to multiply "score" by 2).

I have both of these things in script, but it skips the second half.

I know it's probably a simple bug, as all programmers make bugs, but i really need to know before i release the project.

When do you need help by?

Edit: Just to say, you can always report a post to be edited if sommething needs to be changed.

Anyway, hello CAA14 and welcome to Scratch! I wish you momorable, great times here!

Try using these scripts, with any changes to the moving system you want.

when I receive [Level 2 Start v]
wait (pick random [4] to [10]) secs
set [moving? v] to [yes]
go to x: [0] y: [0]
show
set [number v] to (pick random [0] to [1])
if <(number) = [1]>
set [x direction v] to [1]
else
set [x direction v] to [-1]
end
set [number v] to (pick random [0] to [1])
if <(number) = [1]>
set [y direction v] to [1]
else
set [y direction v] to [-1]
end
repeat [25]
if <not <(clicked?) = [yes]>>
change x by ((x direction) * [5])
change y by ((y direction) * [5])
else
stop script
end
end
set [moving? v] to [no]
hide

when I receive [Level 2 Start v]
set size to [100] %
set [ghost v] effect to [0]
set [clicked v] to [no]
wait until <(moving?) = [yes]>
repeat until <(moving?) = [no]>
if <<touching [mouse pointer v]?> and <mouse down?>>
set [clicked v] to [yes]
set [multiplier v] to [2]
glide [1] secs to x: [0] y: [0]
repeat [50]
change [ghost v] effect by [2]
change size by [2]
end
end

Question for sonicfan:

Umm, you can't set a variable to "yes".
What did you mean by that?

I slightly altered the script you gave me to try to accommodate the following things:

1. I tried to make it so that The multiplier would not show up if a level had not started.
*I THINK WORKS*

2. To make it multiply "score" by 2. *WORKS*

3. To repeat a random amount of times. *DON'T KNOW IF WORKS, ALL WAYS 1*

4. To reset the size to 100% after one appearance.


The problem:

Sometimes, the multiplier shows up in the middle and does not move.


Here's the script:

[scratch]

    when I receive [lvl1_Start v]
        set size to (100)%
        set "ghost" effect to (0)
        set "clicked?" to (no)
        wait until ((multiplier_Moving?) = (yes))
        repeat until ((multiplier_Moving?) = (no)) 
            if ((touching s[mouse-pointer]?) and (mouse down?))
                set "Score" to ((Score) * (2))
                set "clicked?" to (yes)
                set "multiplier" to (2)
                glide 1 secs to x: 0 y: 0
                repeat 50 
                    change "ghost" effect by (2)
                    change size by (2)
            set "multiplier_Done" to (yes)
            wait until ((size) = (100))
            set "multiplier_Done" to (no)
    end

    when I receive [lvl1_Start v]
        set "multiplier_Done" to (no)
        set "times_To_Repeat" to (pick random (1) to (3))
        repeat (times_To_Repeat)
            wait (pick random 4 to 10) secs
            set "multiplier_Moving?" to (yes)
            go to x: 0 y: 0
            show
            set "number" to (pick random 0 to 1)
            if ((number) = (1)) else
                set "x_Direction" to (1)
            else
                set "x_Direction" to (-1)
            set "number" to (pick random 0 to 1)
            if ((number) = (1)) else
                set "y_Direction" to (1)
            else
                set "y_Direction" to (-1)
            repeat 25 
                if (not ((clicked?) = (yes))) else
                    change x by ((x_Direction) * (5))
                    change y by ((y_Direction) * (5))
                else
                    stop script
            set "multiplier_Moving?" to (no)
            hide
    end

[/scratch]

Please compare to your previous script to see what changed.
Any suggestions?

How I have it set up here, it will make your sprite go in a random direction. I didn't see any problems when I looked at it first, you said it works now right? Also, I had to use the code box so you could read the comments, sorry about that.

I think its working now, I just tested it....

I still believe there's an easier way, like making the click thing happen if clicked and then setting a second block up that gives it several options for moving...

BTW, how does the moving thing work? it seems to move in a randomly selected line each time, i guess it has something to do with those y and x position variables....

Thanks so much for your help, brother,

Hi,

Thanks alot sonicfan,

CAA14

P.S. Just wondering, what is the variable, "multiplier" doing?

My score is going crazy, it will add the correct amount of points if the cross-hair hits a certain color on the target the first time, but then add insane amounts of points to "score" after that.

To bad I'm a new scratcher... otherwise i'd send you a picture of my score scripts aswell...

Well, I meant it to be what multiplies your score, as in the other targets giving you whatever score they give you, times the multiplier. Just a thought, but if you already had that part worked out it's uneccessary. You could upload your project as a beta and I could look at it if it gets too out of control.

If its what i think it is, it's an unfinished program.

Yes, it's one of two test stages, alpha, and beta. Scratch 2.0 is currently in alpha stage, on the 28th it will go to beta stage, if that helps. To upload something as a beta, just upload it with beta in the name. Normally only people who are asked to look at them look at them, so if you want to keep it hidden until release, this won't affect that.

You indeed can set a variable to "yes" though it doesn't have any meaning until you add something like "if variable = yes do this"
