Scratch

ProjectFunnyBoy · 2009-11-26 18:21:14

Sometimes I feel it would be convenient to place an "unless" block in scratch, for example in this scenario
--
-When green flag clicked-
|
-Forever if <touching enemy sprite>-
-unless <invincibility> = <1>-
--say "lose" <2> seconds --
--stop all--
--
See how convenient?
Oh yes, and
--
-When green flag clicked-
-if touching red-
-unless (background) = (red)-
--stop all--

That would be awesome! I support this idea.

06dknibbs · 2009-11-26 18:25:42

This can already be done with a simple workaround, but it would be pretty useful smile

Workaround = If, Not, Invincibility = 1.

ProjectFunnyBoy · 2009-11-26 18:27:37

But this would make stuff easy without even a simple workaround. So this would be kinda cool.

I know, but . . . Um . . . still! There are more situations that I'm too lazy to write down! And some beginners could use that!

Imagine it even easier. The unless block.

ProjectFunnyBoy · 2009-11-26 18:35:55

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying! Seriously! Make the unless block! Beginners probably don't realize that combination!

webgal15 · 2009-11-26 18:36:49

Hurray for unless block!

ProjectFunnyBoy · 2009-11-26 18:38:25

Yes! Now, everybody who agrees, put this in your signature:

"Scratch needs an unless block"

06dknibbs · 2009-11-26 18:38:29

I agree, an unless block would make things a lot simpler smile .

ProjectFunnyBoy · 2009-11-26 18:40:31

Put it in your signature! Everyone! Hurry! Hurry! We need to tell the scratch team before 1.5 comes out!

Lucario621 · 2009-11-26 18:54:00

Look, if you're too lazy to make a simple workaround, than... *runs out of ideas for comebacks*. The thing is, there are bigger things, which are possible, but are extremely difficult to do. This is like...nothing. I'm not COMPLETELY against it, but there are more important suggestions at hand.

scmb1 · 2009-11-28 11:42:18

I suppose I wouldn't mind an unless block, but it can be done easily with other blocks, so it isn't at the top of my priorities.

Well, ProjectFunnyBoy (AKA Kenji) we won't need the "Unless" block because there is already a "If Touching" block. They both sound different, but when you really think about it... It is the same think. Thanks for trying to help!

An if touching block? I think you meant to say "Because there is already the combination of an "If" block and a "Not" block".

The unLESS block is a useLESS block. tongue
In fact, it would have a negative effect. It is a block that can be replaced with such an easy substitute and in return shall slow down Scratch even more.

You could just use the IF Block in the command section! big_smile =p

No. I agree w/ lucario621. No kidding-if u want this use the if block and not block! sad

keikij · 2009-11-28 15:43:20

if not invincibility = 1

is the exact same thing as

unless invincibility = 1

It's a pointless block, like forever if.

fg123 · 2009-11-28 15:50:05

Like everyone said. I think the if, not would be more easier than unless. Unless might confuse new users.

I know... But i disagree Example:
If touching enemy and starman is lower than 1, Stop all

is the same as

If touching enemy unless starman is higher than 0, stop all

It is unusefull.

See? try it out.

Really, use the < block. Example:
If touching ------ and starman is lower than 1, Stop all
