Scratch

Bouncing off of objects can get pretty complicated.  I've got a simple pinball game you can look at that maybe would give you a good start...

This should be in All About Scratch

an easy way of making walls for your sprite to detect them is to make sensors.
you can make coloured sensors or separate sensors.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to make coloured sensors, draw a new sprite. it should look like a square. on each side of the square draw lines of different colours
then you should make the following scrips

blocks<if><<  <not>  ><color[  here the colour of one side of the square ]is over[ colour of the wall.<change x by( whatever you want your sprite to move if not touching the colour of the wall/blocks)

repeat this with all of the colours of your square.

this scrips should make your square move only to the side you want if not touching the colour of the wall
now, tell the sprite you want to see moving to always go to the square sensor.

here an example of the colour sensing sprite
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ilikewaffles/739332
the sensor is hiden by seting its ghost effect to 100 so you cant see it while playing, but the sprite of the man moving always goes to the sensor.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
another way of making walls, similarly to the colour sensor, is the single sensor,
to make this type of sensor, you will need to draw 4 sprites, each one will be the sensor of one side of the sprite you want to see moving and acting with walls.

then, make the following scriptson each of the sensors:

blocks<if><<  <not>  >><touching[ here you put the walls sprite<change x by( whatever you want/blocks


for an exaple of this method, download this project
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ilikewaffles/711316
the sensors are again hiden by ghost effect. in this example, there are x and y velocities so if you dont understand this, it is not nesesary to use, i mean you can use motion blocks instead. stick to the colour sensig method, its simpler and still works.

any doubts please let me know, i can help you improve your projects.

hope this was useful to you.

just put <if><touching[ sprite whatever <stop script> then itll stop u when touching that sprite best working one yet

Do you whant a 2d wall or a 3d wall ? 

Inside the forever mouth, put 'if touching...put the name of the block(spirit) you want to be the wall, then put set y velocity to 1, then put under it (but still inside the forever) change y velocity by -1, then underneath it (but, of course, inside the forever) put change y by y velocity.

Looks like a very old bumped thread before everyone rushes in here x)

Although it's still on topic, and other members probably need help with a simular problem 

Look at this: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/MoreGamesNow/848288 It may not be exactly what you're looking for for a basketball game, but it may help. Just download it and look at the script

i'm wondering that too!

I am so stuck. Im making a game called ghost kid but i don't have a clue how to make a wall. HELLP ME HELP ME
