I'm making (or trying >>; ) to make a game, what I'm trying to do is to set lots of sprites as a group. Right now, it looks like this:

There will be around 25+ different terrain sprites, so..
Is there a way to make it look like this?:

I've tried to set sprites as variables, and then put those variables into another one, but I keep failing every time.. any ideas? x:

no. you're going to have to use a sensing mechanism, like color, or an invisible sensor. of if this game is more advanced you could try arrays

There is a way sort of to do the second one, but it takes just as many blocks as before...try this:

set [terrain v] to (0)
set [touched v] to [false]
repeat until <<(terrain)=(25)> or <(touched)=[true]>>
if <touching (join[terrain](terrain))?>
  set [touched v] to [true]
else
  change [terrain v] by (1)
end
end

^^ And, unfortunately, that requires a loop. Loops in Scratch are intentionally slowed down to about 30 fps. You may have to design this project to run in turbo mode.

or you could expand the loop

set [terrain v] to [0]
set [touched v] to [false]
if <touching (join [terrain] (terrain) ) ?>
set [touched v] to [true]
stop script
else
change [terrain v] by [1]
end
if <touching (join [terrain] (terrain) )? >
set [touched v] to [true]
stop script
else
change [terrain v] by [1]
end
if <touching (join [terrain] (terrain) ) ?>
set [touched v] to [true]
stop script
else
change [terrain v] by [1]
end
if <touching (join [terrain] (terrain) ) ?>
set [touched v] to [true]
stop script
else
change [terrain v] by [1]
end

obviously I wont copy the if statement 25 times but you know what I mean
