Scratch

Try the wiki.

You could use a variable set to between 1 and 4, and from there, use that to tell if the zombie goes up, down, left, or right, and add in another random variable to set the amout of strides he takes in the random direction. To make it more realistic, add in random pauses of random lengths. If you want an example of a script that is close to this, then you can look at my Chalkboard Pac-Man project. Remember that the script I'm talking about is the ghost's script. If you like it, then just chop of the top part of the script in the repeat loop, edit it a bit for use in open spaces, and you should be fine!

your scripts confuse me im not that good at scripting yet maybe you can look at my preview of my game and try to make a script for me http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ZombieHappines/2652393

Sorry that they confuse you. I will look at your project and try adding some scripts to it. Then, I will post the project on Scratch for two days and I will let you know when I do, but it won't be today.

im making a game call zombie surivival im using x and y velocity but i need to know how to get the zombies to move randomly using x and y velocity

The Script Is...

when gf clicked
forever
  move [(pick random [1] to [10])] steps
   wait [1] secs 
  point in direction [(pick random [-90] to [90]

Also add another point in direction pickrandom [0] to [180]

I think that he wants a script that has two variables describing the sprites motion; x velocity and y velocity. I don't see that in your script. Also, when turning, you should pick between -90 and 180, not 0 and 180. This will then give it a fuller range of motion.

Try this:

when gf clicked
forever
glide <pick random (1) to (5)> secs to x: <pick random (-240) to (240)> y: <pick random (-180) to (180)>
end

ZombieHappines, I have a question that I would like answered before I start working on the AI.

1). Do you want the zombies to move:
  a). Only left, right, up, down, and diagonally.
  b). Any Direction.

I will still work on the AI, but this info will be greatly appreciated.

b any direction and thanks for helping its really appreciated

I just added the ability to lose/win.

To win, kill all of the zombies. You'll find the script for this in Sprite3.
To lose, die. You'll also find the script for this in Sprite 3.

I don't know if you've seen my posts, so please say if you have/haven't. Thanks!

I'll look into it and help. So, let me guess, you've updated your online version and that is what is having the problems. Okay. It's late right now (9:30 pm), so I won't update the project today.

Hey Ernie I Have a proposition for you would you like to join Destructive Pixels Inc As Head Programmer
