Laaaaaaaag!
Hey guys! I just wanted to say that I get serious lag when I type in numbers or letters in a variable bit. It's really bugging me, but the lag goes away when I do something else like make a new sprite or scroll the scrolly think etc. Does anyone [color=#55000]else get that?[/color]

Yeah, the scrip is massive. I can't find any other way to do it. In the new scratch there should be a block for 'costume name', not just number.

Re: Laaaaaaaag!
If your script is really big and you find it difficult to type in numbers/text, try separating the script into multiple piece, then add the block(s), and then put the scripts back together when you want to test it.

Type the stuff in the variable thing, then add it to the script. You could also scroll to a part of the screen where there aren't any scripts showing.

Re: Laaaaaaaag!
Yeah when scripts get big, scratch slows downs a lot. If they fixed that, probably a lot more people would use the program

There are ways around it. You can split the script apart and then use broadcasts to link the pieces. I do that when I make 1s1s games.

Hey then isn't that exactly what the new creating blocks thing in Scratch 2.0 is?

Fixed it. Forgot a zero.

Wasn't that the tip I gave you?
