Character selection
Hi, i am having to do a scratch project in my ICT GCSE however i am a bit of newbie when it comes to scratch.
My problem is that i have to make a set of criteria of what my game will be like and i have said that i want the game to have a character selection screen that allows the user to pick from a male character and a female character. That is the easy part.
However i have three levels in my game and i was wondering if i would be able to copy and paste the script from the male character into the female characters script with a couple of minor changes? or would i have to do two seperate scripts? I am on a time limit (20 hours) however and i am not the quickest on scratch so i doubt i would be able to do two seperate main character scripts.
Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Character selection
Based on what the user has chosen you could do something like this:
when gf clicked
set [gender v] to [boy]
forever
if <key [Left Arrow v] pressed?>
if <(gender) = [boy]>
switch to costume [boy_left v]
end
if <(gender) = [girl]>
switch to costume [girl_left v]
end
end
if <key [Right Arrow v] pressed?>
if <(gender) = [boy]>
switch to costume [boy_right v]
end
if <(gender) = [girl]>
switch to costume [girl_right v]
end
end

or you could use :
when gf clicked forever if <key [left arrow v] pressed?> switch to costume [(join[(gender)][left])] end end

Re: Character selection
Thank you very much!
I have decided that it won't be too hard to make the character selection after all, I will just have to dedicate a couple of lessons to making the variables work.
Once again, thanks a million
