How do you make an object do either of something. For example, when flag clicked, do either move 10 steps or glide to x 0 y 0. If this is impossible then I guess it is a suggestion. If it is a suggetion, tell me If you support.

It's possible, there are a few ways to do it.

You will need a variable dedicated just to this

when gf clicked
set [variable v] to <pick random [1] to [2]>
if <<variable>=[1]>
move (10) steps
end
if <<variable>=[2]>
glide to x:(0)y:(0)
end

You can also use a list for this

An even more efficient way:

when gf clicked
if <(pick random [1] to [2]) = [1]>
move [10] steps
else
glide to x: [0] y: [0]
end

Yes that also works, but I usually try to stay away from the if else blocks

Why, though? Chaining if-else blocks is often helpful (if there were many conditions)

I am one of those Scratchers who use scratch as a starting point for harder programs, in fact I'm probably going to leave in a month or two

Most programs have if/else functions.
And I think that method was best.
