Numbers on the costume
Hey,
I've been trying to name the costumes in numbers, but the code always gets shortened to just two numbers.
Example:
I would type: 3010113
The costumes name would be: 31
Is anyone else experiencing this or having insight as to why this is or how it can be fixed? Please help.

Re: Numbers on the costume
It's something with Squeak, I think; when you name a costume as a number, it automatically names it to the last unused number. Quite annoying, but there's no way around it, sadly

Re: Numbers on the costume
There may be following causes
1.the c.numbers are systematically arranged . So if u add new it gets a plus 1 no. At name ending .
2.software glitch .
3.problem in Scratch .
U can reinstall Scratch and try once more

thanks. That's unfortunate, because I had just figured out how to control the costume with many variables.
Actual, as opposed to what you've been told, there is a way to combat this. Just add "a" to the end of the costume's name, and whenever you want to switch to a costume, do this:
switch to costume (join [number goes here] [a])
I hope that this helps! Also, hello madiroby and welcome to Scratch! I wish you good luck with learning how to create games!
