Hi All,
I downloaded a program called 'Fish' which had multiple sprites all called 'yellowfish'
I can't seem to do this. If I give two sprites the same name , the second gets renamed as 'name1'
Can I do this? Many Thanks

I'm not sure why you would want to, but no, I don't think so. If the names were the same, Scratch wouldn't be able to tell which sprite is which.

Maybe they put spaces in the names? hmm

It doesn't really matter though...

Thanks guys
There don't seem to be any spaces in there. The Shark sprite has an 'if touching yellowfish' bit of script which seems to work for all the yellowfish, which is quite handy. I suppose I could copy this and cnage it to yellowfish1..2..3 etc.

But anyway, it does seem to be possble, and I can't work out how.

Oh well.

Maybe they import a sprite repeatedly and then edit it? :S

Interesting though. It could be useful in a situation like that. Maybe they used the Hidden Sprite Trick? Repeating the trick seemed to give me multiple sprites, all with the same name.

You just duplicate the sprite with the name. Easy.
AND you can make a nothingness costume by clicking "paint" and clicking it again without closing it. smile

When you duplicate a sprite, Scratch changes its name.

Ah, well, It works on my computer. Just for one sprite, though. hmm

Really? That's odd; It doesn't on mine. What OS are you running, and what are your computer's specs?

Are you sure it's not that the sprite's name is so long that you can't see the number?
