Make a Body Part move?
Hi there,
I have a student who wants to make just the arm of a sprite move. The only way to do this would be by making the arm a separate sprite, right? I can't really think of a better way. Thanks for your help!

You could also make it a separate costume and use stamping if you need to.

I think this is one of the major downfalls in scratch. They do not allow you to select part of a sprite and move it or have in act differently than it's host sprite. I don't think there's a way to do it well, sorry, i've thought on this for a while.

Making a separate sprite -- or for the more advanced users, use stamping and costumes -- is the only way of achieving this. If it is a simple stick man, you can use the pen like the stamping method (like I did here).

I actually don't think there is a way to do this... But you could maybe make a separate sprite, I guess?

Re: Make a Body Part move?
You just make another sprite for the body part to move. You can use these scripts for the body part to move.
go to x:(0)y:(0)
glide(0)sec to x:(0)y:(0)
