Go To Back

I think SCRATCH should seriously have a go to back (Looks) block.
It has: Go to front
          Go back ---- layers
         
But it doesn't have Go to back.
I know there's the easy workaround of go back 100000000000 layers
but come on- it's all a bit messy.

Re: Go To Back

what about [go forward () layers]? that would be cool too!


Make it in Scratch! because it's cooler when it's made in scratch

Re: Go To Back

This isn't quite possible, as there is an infinite number of layers. Just do: Go back 9999

Just go backwards the negative.

But even go back 100000000000000000000000000000000000000 still wouldn't get you to the very back

Even go back G64 wouldn't get you all the way back, although for practical purposes, 1000 or more will be enough.

Well, technically to go to the back you have to go behind all the other sprites, so if you knew what layer  the furthest back sprite was you could just go to that -1. Still no support due to easy workaround

Re: Go To Back

Oh come on, there can't be that many layers  tongue

just do this:

go back (10) layers

Re: Go To Back

You could have infinite layers if you had infinite sprites.

And is that feasable with any current method of computation?

but what if you wanted 10 sprites to go to the back, where it would be sprite 1 go to back, then sprite 2 go behind sprite 1, sprite 3 behind sprite 2, etc...
they would all be on the same layer.

If there's a layer# block there would be a way to go around the problem mentioned above.
