Click Green Flag twice
This is a glitch I've seen with online projects.
The project only works if you press the flag twice.
Can anyone fix it?
How is it caused?

Re: Click Green Flag twice
Usually it's because there's a script like this in the project:
[blocks]<when green flag clicked>
<forever if> <something>
<stop all>
<end>[/blocks]
To fix that insert a "wait 0.1 secs" block in between "when green flag clicked" and "forever if".

I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

Re: Click Green Flag twice
Closed by request of the topic owner.
To expand just a bit on what mathematics pointed out above...it's caused by not giving the project time to initialize variables and conditions before they are tested. The cure is to put a short wait ahead of any block that tests on a variable or condition to give them time to be properly initialized. And, of course, to make sure that they have a block somewhere that does the initialization
