How to reset.. your game?
Hey! I'm having some problems with my newest game:
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/100justin1/527143
I've just joined this a while ago, and am pretty new still. But I'm getting pretty good. 
Okay, here's my short problem.
When you play my game and you lose, it has a try again button right?
How can I make it so when I click that it restarts everything from the start?
Thank you.
*I'm thinking of removing quite a bit of those red lines.. it's pretty hard.

Re: How to reset.. your game?
Well, there isn't a quick solution to that problem...you have to design it in from the start. Make a broadcast message called "Start Game" or something and then, on each sprite, set up scripts under the "When I Receive Start Game" to set the sprites where you want them to start, point them in the right direction, put the right costume on them and so on. You also need to set any variables that need to be initialized. Then, you just broadcast a message to Start Game when the green flag is clicked or your restart game button is clicked.

Oh Okay, thank you. I made a new game with a menu, which was my first menu ever. I'm still working on it though.

It's always a learnign curve. The great thing about scratch is the forums and how helpful the people are. If they don't know the answer they can often point you at a project that solves the same problem and you can download it.

Please don't spam and go way out of topic. This is not a good way to introduce yourself to the scratch community.

That's what I was going to say!

Re: How to reset.. your game?
Hey! There is one more way to do it. When you hit try again, have it broadcast "scratch-startclicked".

Re: How to reset.. your game?
Make the entire game start with a single message that can be broadcasted, so that when you want to restart automatically or without using the green flag, make the spries broadcast the script to restart the project

Re: How to reset.. your game?
Actually, if you use the scratch-startclicked trick, you will need to download to reset properly. Maybe a play button and a lose button.
When I Receive lose
Show
When Lose Clicked
Broadcast Restart

or replace every green flag hats with broadcast receiver hats, and have it broadcast a message when it needs to restart. Not that it matters anymore, this thread is so old.

Re: How to reset.. your game?
The green flag can set everything back up. Perhaps when you lose you can <stop all> then have them press green flag again.

Re: How to reset.. your game?
You should make the 'Try Again' button have this script:
<when[ Try Again Button ]clicked>
<broadcast[ Scratch-startclicked]
This should work.

Re: How to reset.. your game?
make a sprite called replay
in there do
<when[this sprite ]clicked>
<broadcast[ reset
<when I receive[ reset
copy the script you want to reset and that is it

Or you can just broadcast "scratch-startclicked" it will press the green flag.

If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time
