Scratch

you would do somthing like this 

when I receive [broadcasted thing v]
glide (1) secs to x: (Pick random (1) to (360)) y: (pick random (1) to (360))
wait until <touching [board v]?>

This is a code you could use, sorry for my terrible scratch blocks xD

Fixed.

Thanks again SciTecCf xD huge help

It should show you it moving. You can change the 2 for a different number (higher moves faster).

Will this script move smoothly or will it appear jittery?
Also, how can I get this to work for multiple sprites because it needs to top if it hits one of seventeen sprites. I am not bothered if I will have to keep repeating the same script for different sprites, I just want to know if this will work (well).

It won't appear too jittery, but there's a better script to use if you're detecting 17 sprites.

If you make a list, for example called "SpriteList", add the names of all 17 sprites into the list, then do:

Maybe you should request for the thread to be locked, as it has reached its purpose xD Joy to help! !

You click the "report" button on the first post, and tell the Scratch Team: "The problem is solved, please close this thread." And you're done!

Have fun, eat your vegetables, and Scratch On!

Well then how can I get it to work then!

You could iterate through the list, but that would be slow.

I did try it.  Here's the link:

Notice that, even when the red cat is touching another cat, the variable "flickers", depending on which member of the list the "item (any)" block has selected.

^^Not really...

Let's say there are 100 objects on the screen, meaning 100 items in the list to check.  The main object will move, and every frame, will check if it is touching a random 1 of these 100.  That means that if it is actually touching a specific object, there is only a 1/100 (1%) chance that it will register collision with that object.

I don't think that this project will be using 100 sprites (maybe 15 is a reasonable guess) but that's still only about a 7% accuracy rate.

just wondering (because these posts are going a little off-topic) Is there any other way to get my coin to stop if it hits one of 17 sprites without using scripts? Or can someone give me a definate/straight answer to whether I can use lists or not?
Thanks,

Here is a script for your gliding coin:

when I receive [broadcasted thing v]
repeat until <touching [board v]?>
glide (1) secs to x: (Pick random (1) to (360)) y: (pick random (1) to (360))
end
hide

when I receive [broadcasted thing v]
forever
if <touching [sprite v]?>
hide

He said 17, so it does give a fairly usable result.

Because he's not doing any long script in the event, he's merely stopping movement.
