Hi,

so here is my game : http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Sn33ze/2327247

I need help on the bricks. How do i make it that when the ball hits a brick it dissappears and goes back towards to the player? and also after someone scores, how do i set it all back to normal so that the bricks reappear again? May i get some help?
oh, and also how do i make it when the ball hits a "blue brick" it makes the speed of the ball slower, orange = faster, and pink 3x faster?
Thank you and appreciate it much!

I think the easiest way to do this is to use broadcasts.

First, put this script in all the blue bricks:

when gf clicked
forever
if <touching [Ball v]?>
hide
broadcast [Ball bounce v]
if <(Ball Speed) > (1)> //We don't want the ball to stop. :)
change [Ball Speed v] by (-1)
end
end
if <touching [Ball 2 v]?>
hide
broadcast [Ball 2 bounce v]
if <(Ball Speed) > (1)>
change [Ball Speed v] by (-1)
end
end

Then, put this in the orange bricks:

when gf clicked
forever
if <touching [Ball v]?>
hide
broadcast [Ball bounce v]
change [Ball Speed v] by (1)
end
if <touching [Ball 2 v]?>
hide
broadcast [Ball 2 bounce v]
change [Ball Speed v] by (1)
end

After that, put this script in the pink bricks:

when gf clicked
forever
if <touching [Ball v]?>
hide
broadcast [Ball bounce v]
set [Ball Speed v] to ((Ball Speed) * (2))
end
if <touching [Ball 2 v]?>
hide
broadcast [Ball 2 bounce v]
set [Ball Speed v] to ((Ball Speed) * (2))
end

Then, put this script in Ball:

when i receive [Ball bounce v]
point in direction ((direction) - ((180) + (pick random (-20) to (20))))
move (4) steps

And in Ball 2:

when i receive [Ball 2 bounce v]
point in direction ((direction) - ((180) + (pick random (-20) to (20))))
move (4) steps

First, change the scripts in Ball and Ball 2 so that it looks like this:
...

if <touching [Goal v]?>
change [Green's score v] by (1)
go to x: (-146) y: (5)
change [Ball Speed v] by (1)
broadcast [show bricks v] //Add this.
wait (3) secs
point in direction (pick random (0) to (359))
end
if <touching [Goal2 v]?>
change [Red's score v] by (1)
go to x: (-146) y: (5)
change [Ball Speed v] by (1)
broadcast [show bricks v] //Add this.
wait (3) secs
point in direction (pick random (0) to (359))
end

Then, add this to all the bricks (Sprite1 to Sprite 37):

when i receive [show bricks v]
show

This should work if I didn't make any mistakes. smile

Everything seems to be working but just 3 things, whenever the game is done and i click on play(green flag) the bricks are still missing and it is playing on the "whoever won background" how do i reset this? and when someone scores how do i make it that both the balls reset in their place and wait 3 seconds? lastly, after someone scores the balls still have the attributes of hitting the bricks from the previous run, how do i reset it?

Thank you

here is my currently updated one : http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Sn33ze/2327247

when green flag clicked
set [red score v] to (0)
set [blue score v] to (0)
switch to background [normal v]
broadcast [show blocks v] 
broadcast [reset balls v]

//in each of the ball's script:

when i receive [reset balls v]
go to x:(whatever) y:(whatever)
wait (3) secs
put the rest of the script here
