I am making a "find the hidden thing" sort of game. I have the thing disappear with a hide bar at the beginning of the game, then go to a random spot under a set of sprites. If the player touches the right sprite, it is supposed to show up.
The only problem is that I can't get the "if" and "touching?" bars to work on a hidden sprite. It works just fine if the sprite is already showing and you use the "if" to hide it, but not the other way around.
Am I missed something or is this just the way Scratch works?
Thanks.

Is it that you want to detect when touching a hidden sprite? I don't think Scratch can do that. But you can give the sprite a one-pixel costume and make it 99% ghost effect (under "looks" menu). Or... are you asking something else?

Yes, I want to detect touching with a hidden sprite. This would be a useful thing, but if Scratch doesn't do it, it doesn't! The ghosting work around sounds possible, but complicates things. I'll try, though, so thanks.

The "show" block is the opposite of "hide".
(If ghosted, use 'clear graphics effects")
