Do you want one of your sprites to hide during your game or animation?

For example, say you want Sprite2 to make Sprite1 disappear when it touches it.

Here's one way to program it:

Sprite2:
[blocks]
<forever>
<if><touching[ Sprite1
<broadcast[ TimeToHide
<end>
<end>
[/blocks]

Sprite1:
[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<show>

<when I receive[ TimeToHide
<hide>
[/blocks]

As you can see, Sprite2 "broadcasts" a message to Sprite1. When Sprite1 receives the message, it hides. (You need a "show" to make the sprite reappear again each time you run the program.)

Thanks to yambanshee for suggesting this FAQ topic. Please add any suggestions, corrections, or questions.

Also if you want the same thing to happen just in reverse (meaning if a sprite is already hiding) you would do

SPrite 2
<forever><if><(<distance to[ sprite one <<> 10 )> <broadcast[ time to show

Sprite 1

<when green flag clicked><hide>

<when I receive[ time to show
<show>

Mrbus · 2010-02-07 03:57:49

You can, but you must hack scratch. Look at nXIII's Tutorial

EDIT: PLEASE USE THE

For mason wiz you could just do this when<when green flag clicked<forever if><touching color[ whatever color you want<broadcast[444 and for the game over sprit e you make it hide when flag clicked and this script<when I receive[ 444<show>

shamrocker · 2010-05-21 23:15:28

Quite right. I tested it, and so far it works.

example
What you need to do is use broadcast if dog that's sprite one touches cat sprite 2
hide, use it for cat and dog. and with cat or dog when it touches one another,
broadcast to your game over, it could be called any name you wish.

like this
If dog touches cat hide then broadcast game over
and put the same in for the cat
go to game over
put in
when I receive game over show and stop all. Its up to you how many seconds you want it to happen that is the wait tool
that should solve it

Make an invisble costume for the sprite and do this small script:
<when[ any key ]key pressed>
<switch to costume[ the invisible costume you made
thats just another way to do it.get it

i actually made this up...

Jonathanpb · 2010-08-20 01:10:41

You can't make a costume with nothing in it... wink But you can make the costume look like what's behind it. tongue

You can make a costume with absolutely nothing in it, I can't remember how but I have done so.

Fransis · 2011-09-05 06:35:55

It's a pity would be nice to read the whole story of making such a costume..))

I have a question: How do I hide my Sprite during the first few levels and make it appear in the last?

I want a sprite to show and hide as many times as I want if I click the same button. How do I do that?

Haiming · 2011-11-13 11:48:46

You can''t. At least not now.

Unfortunately you can't at the moment, but I'm hoping it'll be possible in 2.0 smile
