Sprite grouping

There should be a function that allows you to group together sprites.

This would allow you to use  <touching [Group 1]?> rather than <<touching [sprite 1]> or <<touching sprite 2> or <touching sprite 3>>>.

Re: Sprite grouping

Agreed - RHY had a thread suggesting this a while ago  smile  For now, though, there is a workaround (sadly, it only works offline), using lists... Here is a simple project that I made to demonstrate this  big_smile  But a block built just for this would be nice  big_smile

Re: Sprite grouping

A lot of people have suggested this, actually - and I definitely think it would be a wonderful addition! So many possibilities! So many workarounds to overcome!

Only works offline?? D:
Well, that sucks. But, thanks anyways  smile
And yes, a block for that would be great  big_smile
Maybe Jens could work out a hack...  wink

Re: Sprite grouping

this is what nested sprites in BYOB do, only that sprites are nested hierarchically, i.e. as a tree rather than just grouped.

I *think* in Scratch 2.0, they're planning to make all projects run the same online and offline, so maybe that would allow sprite grouping to work online...  hmm
