I need help with some code... And yes, this is advanced...

I need a laser that spins, emitted from a baddie.

Simple enough, right?

Well, I need the laser to not be able to go through, let's say, blue.

How would I get this to work?

Example:

    OTHER STUFF       WALL ->  |------LASER--------

Oh, and stretch blocks can be used...

Re: I need help with some code... And yes, this is advanced...

Have a look at the code for this: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/calebxy/1082094
It's basically the same thing. Look at the code for the Daleks and the laser.

Yes, but the laser must spin fast...

What do you mean spin fast? Could you upload a demo?

Uh... Yeah. I want that to not be able to beam through the color blue.

I have made the blue ball "draggable on website" as the makers of scratch say.

Re: I need help with some code... And yes, this is advanced...

Ok, I've edited Calebxy's version so that the ball now blocks it, but doesn't stop the laser moving. Like a wall would.

Ooh... I wanted it to work from any distance, like, say, right next to the shooter...

Re: I need help with some code... And yes, this is advanced...

If only it worked faster... I did basically what calebxy did before I posted this thread... But I could never make it FASTER...

And I wish the laser wouldn't 'emit' from the center, just move in a circle, like my first project...

I don't think I can do any better. I might try a bit later though.

I just want smooth spinning, no 'emitting'...

Re: I need help with some code... And yes, this is advanced...

The way posted is already the best way to do things unless you just want a static bar. You can't make a proper lazer because scratch adds a lag after every block.

This one doesn't crawl like a bug but its still slow http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/archtest/1084810

Re: I need help with some code... And yes, this is advanced...

ANy way to make a custom block in smalltalk to do it?

It's in Panther, which has Code Your Own Block (CYOB).

Re: I need help with some code... And yes, this is advanced...

the onyl way to make it smoother would to be if the color was always in the same spot.  is the color able to move or is it always in the same area?

Re: I need help with some code... And yes, this is advanced...

try archmage's method only with turn 10 degrees and set pen size to 5, and move 20 steps instead of ten, that'll speed it up even though it senses a little worse.

Re: I need help with some code... And yes, this is advanced...

The way I see is use
forever
| if <touching blue>
||repeat until <not<touching blue>>
||| change stretch by (-1)
|________________________________
|broadcast 'move' and wait
_________________________________

Then have:

When I recive 'move'
clear graphic effects
Rotate (the current move script)

Just tried a way using strech blocks and it works, but it could be improved.

Re: I need help with some code... And yes, this is advanced...

I don't think this has been said yet but why don't you use stamp blocks and make it go really fast?

Hmm... How about using 'distance to sprite' blocks...?

Yes, I just don't like the part where it moves up like that...

And if it could be faster...
