I think what you mean is making the characters hide and show later. Try this:
<when green flag clicked>
<hide>

<when I receive[ Whatever
<show>

Re: How to make characters suddenly appear?

You could also do something like this:
When Flag Clicked (sorry, I'm not very good at using the online-blocks, yet):
Hide
Wait # Seconds:
Show

Hope this helps!  smile

Whatever you do, it always comes down to show and hide. If you want something to fade in, use ghost in graphic effects

The <when I receive[ whatever block starts the blocks under it when a block like this is used; <broadcast[ whatever .
So maybe you only want something to happen when a character is done moving. Here is what it would look like.

Character One's script:
<when green flag clicked>
<wait( 1 )secsc>
<move( 10 )steps>
<broadcast[ Character Two Move

Character Two's script:
<when I receive[ Character Two Move
<move( -10 )steps>

This is just an example, but lots of things can be done with <when I receive[  whatever blocks.

I hope I could help.  smile
