Sprites interacting with another Sprite
Hi all scratchers! New to Scratch and learning as we go, my students and I are trying to develop a story based game where something happens when sprites interact with each other...
We can't work out which variables and controls to use!! Please can someone help!?
Help greatly appreciated, we will be contributing to the forums as we make our projects so please help us out

Re: Sprites interacting with another Sprite
You can use the
broadcast [thing v]and
when I receive [thing v]blocks.
If you broadcast something, every sprite will receive it.

Re: Sprites interacting with another Sprite
Another useful block is the "<touching []?> block". If you want a sprite to only execute a certain action if/when it is touching another sprite:
when gf clicked wait until<not<touching [character 1 v]?>> // not necessarily needed wait until<touching [character 1 v]?> broadcast [shake hand v]
