Hey, I'm a decently new scratcher (started this year) and have been working on scratch offline for this entire time... anyway... I created this game: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/WarrKing/1379642 (blood bath). Anyway... I have a problem and I was wondering if you had any sugesstions? In this game you will see that when you fire, you can curve the bullets by turning... this is because the bullets are staying centered on the player sprite turning with the character as he turns so its always pointing straight... then when fired, it repeats taking steps until it hits an edge. Does anyone have any ideas of how to make it so the bullets fly straight when fired?

Here's how I would suggest doing this:

1. Create a new variable called ShotsFired.
2. Set ShotsFired to 0 when play begins.
3. Increment ShotsFired by 1 every time a shot is fired.
4. In the block for each bullet where you set the direction, just put an if around everything inside the forever block. Make it If ShotsFired<1 for your first bullet, 2 for your second, etc.

In my opinion that seems a little harsh...

It's not harsh, it's the rules of Scratch.

developdood · 2010-10-28 08:39:23

how is it insulting? you highlighted insulting

developdood · 2010-10-28 08:43:28

This isn't even a violent game. I don't think you have to be mean to WarrKing.

developdood · 2010-10-28 08:44:44

And to fix your game, make sure that anything pointing the bullet in the same direction of the person is outside of any loops.

PlayWithFire · 2010-10-28 10:52:53

plenty of games have blood out there. as long as it's not bad.

anyway just don't make the bullet repeat the step where it is centered to the player sprite, instead make it point in that direction then put the repeat block and then just the movement blocks

MathWizz · 2010-10-28 10:57:06

You have the player's moment script in the bullet sprites. Take them out and it should work fine!

WarrKing · 2010-10-28 21:15:46

alright thanks guys ill try those things and, just for you henley, ill make it child friendly
hmm

Thats really harsh henley,
Scratch is designed to be a community that sticks together and when someone who is new (like me) who may not know all the rules of scratch asks for help from the community you should support and give advice not tell them off.
Besides look at my zombie survivor game.
sad

subzerostig · 2010-10-29 08:01:00

Whoops! forgot to include henleys quote!!! Oh well, imagine its there.

I say that you guys are being way more harsh on me, than I was on "WarrKing"

Scratch is designed to be a kid-friendly community to share and interact with the creations of others knowing that they may or may not be younger than you. New people like you, should read FAQ's and look around the parts of the forums they understand. If they still don't know about the rules of Scratch, you should ask a member of the Scratch Team, or a moderator.

Besides, if you're so new, what are you doing on Advanced Topics? This is usually for topics that have to do with modifications to Scratch, the source code, and highly advanced projects. (Ex: 3D anything, advanced mathematics, ray tracing, etc.)

Paddle2See wrote:
Advanced Topics should hold discussions about Scratch as a programming language, methods to modify or extend Scratch, use of Mesh or other "hidden" features and so on.

Advanced Topics might also hold things like real 3D programming, Ray Tracing, Fractal displays, and other things that require advanced mathematics. These can be programmed with ordinary Scratch blocks but since they would be beyond most ordinary Scratchers, I would argue that they belong in Advanced Topics

Now to answer questions.

What if I am a five year old, and I see a project with blood. That insults me because I don't like, and cannot create projects with blood. Don't tell me that five year olds aren't on Scratch. I know four year olds who are, and have been insulted by blood.

I can't go to every single game on Scratch, and suggest to people that they should not use blood.

This problem has already been resolved anyway.

Henley, We should stop arguing and help each other not to point the finger of blame at each other. We could be a new member but that is only since we have had an account. I know people who have been on scratch for years and are very good, yet they no nothing of the rules.

Scratch on
