The Hidden Sprite: A Guide

Ever wonder how to make a sprite that doesn't show up in the list? This guide will show you how.

ScreenToaster Video

Step One: Open Scratch

Step Two: Click on the "new sprite" button. You should now be looking at the Scratch Paint Editor.

Step Three: Drag the paint editor aside and press "new sprite" again.

Step Four: Press cancel on the paint editor window and open up the "sensing" category.

Step Five: Drag out an ([X position] of [Sprite1]) block. Open up the drop-down sprite menu. There should be a Sprite3 option. This proves that the sprite exists.

Step Six: Move your mouse to X:20 Y:20. Double-click, and you should open up the scripting panel for the hidden sprite. Enjoy!

Re: The Hidden Sprite: A Guide

the problem with this is that saving or uploading the sprite will show it. This is only a temporary method, nothing can be done to make it permentant this way, though there is a way to do it permenantly.

Re: The Hidden Sprite: A Guide

This technique also let's you create multiple Sprite1's.

Step 1: Do the thing that waveOSbeta posted above.

Step 2: create 2 new sprites.

One of these will be sprite2, and the other will be another sprite1.
