Scratch

You would set it's (the ball's) x and y axis based off the holders position with an offset.

when gf clicked
forever
  if <(player_holding_ball)= (1)>
    go to x: <<(x position v) of (player v)> + (25)> y: <<(y position v) of (player v)> - (25)>

So you can setup some script for setting when sprite 1 has the ball you set the variable "player_holding_ball" to 1, then the script above will run.

The +25 of the x axis and -25 of the y axis are the amount of offset you want the ball to follow the sprite around at.

Write it so its in forever if, then touching player, then go to player.

forever if <touching? [Player v]>
go to [player v]

Actually, is you're using what the first responder said, you should just have this:

when gf clicked
forever
if < (holding?) = [yes] >
go to x: < [x position v] of [player v] > y: < [y position v] of [player v] >

You of course add an offset like the first responder showed, and then:

when gf clicked
forever
if <touching? [player v] >
set [holding? v] to [yes]
else
set [holding? v] to [no]

Thanks, but I'm having a problem. When I jump, I let go of the ball. How can I program it to stay in the players hands when I jump.

Hmm... using the above scripts should keep it there regardless, could you post your scripts or at least the scripts that pertain to the holding and jumping?

And, no problem.

This is my script for holding:

when gf clicked
forever
    if touching <player>
          go to x: x position of sprite + 25 y: y position of sprite 
end

My script for making me jump is:

When up arrow key pressed
Change y by 100

Okay, try putting another forever loop in it, like this:

when gf clicked
forever 
if < touching? [player v] >
forever
go to x: <[x position v] of [player v]> y: (<[y position v] of [player v]> + [25])
end
end
end

Also, You need to have your jumping script go down 100 after a certain amount of time. Are you doing this?

P.S. You just needed a "/" before the last "scratchblocks".

I tried that script, when I jump its okay. However, when I try to shoot the ball, it just comes right back at me. I will try to do something like this:

[/scratchblocks]
when gf clicked
forever
     if (touching <ball>)
         forever if (touching <ball>)
             go to x position of ball + 25 y position of ball

Actually, that didn't work. Maybe I can try something like this for the ball script:

when gf clicked
forever
      wait until (touching <player 1>) 
      if (touching <player 1>)
           forever 
               go to (<x position> of <player 1> <y position> of <player 1>  
      end 

Ugh, nothing is working! I'll keep trying. If any of you have any possible scripts that could work, please respond.

Ok, I did this script for the ball:

when gf clicked
forever
     if (touching <player 1>)
     repeat until (key <space> pressed) or (touching <player 2>
     go to x position of player 1 + 25 and y position of player 1 
     end 
end

One problem, MY GRAVITY IS NOT WORKING! This is just problem after problem after problem. Here is my script for gravity:

when gf clicked
forever
if <not<touching? [ground v]>>
    change y by [-4]  
    end
end 

What is wrong with the gravity? My guess is that its going below that ground, right?

Also, about your script for the ball, It should work fine, what's happening wrong?

Actually, I have resolved all of the problems. Thank you all, including CAA14, and everyone for helping me out. I am thankful for experienced scratchers who are willing to pass their knowledge down to one who is a rookie. I will upload my game shortly, and it will go out to all of you. Thank you again.

That's great, and no problem. Actually, i just started in January of this year, so i am just steadily learning.   

Looking forward to playing your game.
