I assume you mean how can you make your scripts do something random.  For that, you want to go to the Operators section of the block library (green) and look for the Pick Random block

[blocks]
<pick random( 1 )to( 100
[/blocks]

It will give you back a random number between (and including) the first number and the second number.

You can put that block into a Move block or a Turn block or any other place that a number will fit to make your sprites do random things.  Hope that helps!

Re: Being Random?

I'm assuming he means acting randomly. Well, you have to stay on topic here in the forums. So just be random AND stick to the rules.  smile

Re: Being Random?

You just have to Ferris wheel.

But seriously, being random isn't that great, because people begin to think you can't form a coherent thought.  By staying on topic in posts, your views are made easier to understand and people will be more likely to respect you.

Re: Being Random?

Like everyone said, don't be random. It will annoy people. It sure annoys me when people say extremely random things not even closely related to the topic of the thread.

Yeah, pretty much what Fantasticme said, but we prefer cuteness to randomness here.

Cheers! ^_^

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

Re: Being Random?

Keep on topic...

Unless:
You're RPGing in the TBGs.

You're making a hilarious and cute comment such that everyone will overlook your off topicness

You're Star_the_Fox and you have proof that you've just eaten sugar.

You're on the Misc(but only when making topics)

This topic doesn't really have anything to keep on topic, in other words the topic doesn't have a point because it doesn't make sense.

Re: Being Random?

Maybe, you should prefer not being random, unless your "randomness" is sticking to the rules of the forums and Scratch site.  big_smile

You shouldn't be random. You should keep your topics on a straight path until the pickle gargles your lemonade.  big_smile

You just defiled the good name of randomness.

Perhaps bob would like to speak to you. He has a friend, you see.

One is called Paddle2See and another is called Lightnin.

But his chin is called Mr.Fist.

He would like to introduce you to Mr.Fist.

By the way, that is very talented randomness. Wait, does randomness count as an art? I don't know. Oh well.
