Selecting characters/ Sprite selection

I am trying to make a game in Scratch and I am having trouble with choosing a character and making the others hide, and then be able to play as the character you choose in the game.
    If anyone can help me please reply. Thanks.

If you want players to choose a costume for their character, trying having all the costumes be on one sprite, rather than having multiple sprites.

Re: Selecting characters/ Sprite selection

Try using a variable to indicate what costume the sprite will use.
switch to costume <variable>
will then use the right costume.  You can use keys to pick set the costume, or click on the sprite when it is wearing the costume you want, setting the variable to the costume number.
