Hi everyone. I am in a computer science class, and I am trying to make a maze game in scratch (not a scary one, mind you all!), and I am trying to make something happen. At the end of the maze, there is a wall blocking off the exit to the outside of the maze. When the player (a tiny black square) hits another sprite located somewhere in the maze, the wall at the end should be gone, not just hidden, but gone. I do not want to get rid of the script completely, I just need something that will temporarily get rid of the wall and it's code. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well, if you post your scripts, i could help you better, as i do not know the whole situation. Sounds like you need a Boolean variable.

You should do something like this

When sprite 1 touches sprite 2
broadcast (hide)

Now on the objects code that is to be hidden, add this.

When I receive (hide)
Hide.

Sorry I could not give a better visual representation. I can't get scratch block a to work.

CAA14, I don't actually have any code for this part. I just need to know the code, as it is for homework. If you have any ideas for this from what I have said previously, go right ahead. Thanks.

Well, if you need the actual code, I don't think we should be helping you, because it's considered cheating.

Sorry, new here, don't get the logistics of scratch and what not... Sorry! I think I have a solution but if you guys could just tell me if it could work that would be great...

I think I should use a

[x position] of [Sprite1]

And also a

[y position] of [Sprite 1]

so that when my character gets to the exact x and y coords it gets rid of the wall at the end. Would that work?

Firedrake969 · 2013-03-07 15:58:21

No, because then it would have to be to the exact pixel.
Try if touching sprite 1.

Thanks! I'll try that and post back with what happens! Thanks everyone for helping me out!

Hmmm... Still not working... I put in a

when gf clicked
if touching sprite4
broadcast hide
(sorry for no blocks)

and still nothing. Now what? I am completely clueless on what to do.

echristophy · 2013-03-07 17:18:41

That code only hides the wall if you click on the green flag if at that moment the two sprites are touching. If I understand you correctly, what you want is for the wall to hide when the two sprites touch. How about this:

When gf clicked
Wait until touching sprite4
broadcast hide

then the wall will hide when the two sprites touch.

(I think. I'm new at this too)

CAA14 · 2013-03-07 17:29:44

Yes, you need to have that in a forever loop, like this:

when gf clicked
forever
if <touching? [Switch v]>
broadcast [hide wall v]
stop script
end
end

That should work.

Hope that helps,

However, the wall needs the when I receive hide, hide script.

CAA14 · 2013-03-07 18:18:34

Yes, of course.

when i receive [hide wall v]
hide

^ That would go in the wall that you want to make disappear.

Hey, thanks everybody, I will try this out, and thanks for all the help! I'll post back in a few minutes!

tinytowers · 2013-03-08 12:11:31

Yay! It works, thanks so much everybody! This helps me out so much! Thanks again!

CAA14 · 2013-03-08 12:32:18

No problem, if you need anymore help, just ask. smile

Regards,

It should be this:
For the main sprite:

when gf clicked
forever if <touching [that sprite]>
broadcast [hide]

For "that sprite"

when i receive [hide]
hide

Hope this helps!
