Re: Tips on making an animation?

Well, a brodcast works liek this:

brodcast 'do_thing_1'

and all sprites get the signal 'do_thing_1', and will do something with the hat block [when [] recieved].

Do like this:

[flagclicked]
[brodcast 'say something']

______________________________---

[when 'say something' recieved]
[say 'something' for 2 secs]


I made a MC texture pack! Get it at planetminecraft!

Basic, one-sprite animations are done something like this:

when gf clicked
switch to costume [costume_1 v]
forever
    next costume
    wait (0.1) secs
Though, for those "movies", each Scratcher has a different style.
