Changing Costumes
I'm making a game and I want to have my sprite change to a costume while holding the down arrow key, and then changing back to it's original costume when the down arrow key is released. I just started using Scratch so maybe the answer is obvious but I would really appreciate any help! I'm trying to use this script but it only works at random times. Thanks in advance for any help!
[scratchblocks]
when down arrow key pressed
if [down arrow key pressed?]
switch to costume [ costume2]
else
switch to costume [costume1]

when gf clicked if <key down arrow pressed> switch to costume [costume2] wait until <not <key down arrow pressed> switch to costume [costume1]would also work.

Re: Changing Costumes
There's loads of ways of doing this 
You could do what Hello12345678910 said, but that may cause some lag, since the script will be running constantly. If you want to minimise like, try this:
when [down arrow v] key pressed repeat until <not <key [down arrow v] pressed>> switch to costume [[Costume] v] end switch to costume [[Other costume] v]

Re: Changing Costumes
you need a
next costumeblock.
I gaze off into the boundless skyline, noteblock choirs playin in the sunshine, turn round pick up my sword and wield the blade that once forced evil mobs to yield, if this battle shall leave me slain, I know Herobrine still calls my name, better just take a stand, that was when I ruled the land.
