Scratch

Hello

Keep gettin stuck on the movement of my ship heh. Is there any blocks that move the ship so when u hit the forward key/ backwards- you move in that direction constantly but you can still rotate left and right while the ship is still moving forward.

For instance while the ship is moving constantly in this direction: -->                                         I can turn left and right while moving the same direction: -->

Thanx

Just lock the sprite to avoid the ship going upside down! 

when gf clicked

forever  

if <key [right arrow v] pressed?> 

point in direction (90 v)

move (10) steps

end

if <key [left arrow v] pressed?> 

point in direction (-90 v)

move (10) steps

end

if <key [up arrow v] pressed?> 

point in direction (0 v)

move (10) steps

end

if <key [down arrow v] pressed?> 

point in direction (180 v)

move (10) steps

end

Fixed your forever loop.

Hmm i really appreciate the help    and thanx but every time i press the foward key- i would like to move foward in the direction that the ship is pointing + it moves in that direction constantly but at the same time i can move my ship left and right.

Hard to explain so.... if my ship was pointing   <----   i hit the forward key and it will move slowly in that direction constantly (and at the same time i can still rotate without it affecting the direction that the ship is moving until i hit forward again- when it moves forward in that direction)

So hard to explain- but when i use (move [steps]) and repeat- it moves in the direction but when i turn right   or left- the movement of the ship is also changed to that direction.

Thanx for ur efforts- i know this ones complicated because ive tried in different ways...

If you still don't understand what i'm tryin to achieve- its ship movement exactly like this: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/maayax/2692420but mayb its the background  thats moving and not the ship 

Sorry i meant like this video: http://www.scratch.mit.edu/ext/youtube/?v=_ucp8AoyM74&feature=relmfu    (the ships and the controls/ bombs is what im intending to make in a 1 vs 1 duel game on scratch)

Thanks for your efforts lol

Ohhhhh.. I get what you mean.
What you need is a script that uses velocity and a heap of variables 
I'll take a look now.

Ok, i'll do it now 

ok hehe i'll wait... really appreciate it lol... i'm just staring at my screen with a headache about figuring it out. Thought i could recreate that ship based on that video i showed u but turns out its taking forever... i've made the bomb bounce once and explode but its the ship control is one of the major problems lol

Gonna try and make it player 1 vs player 2... then have different arenas to pick from... want me to publish what ive done so far so u can see where im coming from?

Yeah, if you can publish it, I can edit your script directly so I can put it in for you, it would make it easier for me 
I'm happy to help till it is done 

I'm just tidying it up slightly... i had far too many random bits everywhere
5 mins i think

Ok here it is     http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Subsidel/2700928

1) Yeh i want the ship to glide only forwards or backwards (so u can still rotate while the ship is moving in 1 direction- until u hit the forward or backwards key again where u will glide in the new direction)..... the rotate keys is ok as it is

2) Once its done...If this is possible- i'll try and figure out how to add speed gradually to the ship so the longer you press the forward or backwards key the faster the ship moves in that direction until a set speed lol. (so complicated lol)

Well i actually thought i was gettin close to sorting the controls out- with a massive script i made the ship constantly move forward + gets slightly faster the longer i held the forward key up until a set max speed but every turn would make the ship move in that direction  .

Basically you point in a direction- hit forward/ backwards key: u move in that direction but if u let go of the forward key- u keep moving at the same speed and u can rotate + the ship will still remain moving in same direction until u point in a new direction and hit the forwards key..

so complicated to explain but simple in my head.

while you wait, check out my projects, some may help you with scripts   
(still trying scripts )
