New scratch block

Has anyone thought of a previous costume script? That uses only 1 script? Just think of the possibilities!

Thanks for listening!  big_smile

Re: New scratch block

The work required in creating a new block is not justified when you can so easily just switch to "costume -1"

A script is defined as something that has a header:
(example:
[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<when[  ]key pressed>
<when[  ]clicked>
<when I receive[ ]>
[/blocks]
)
and blocks:
(example:
[blocks]
<move(  )steps>
[/blocks]
)
Therefore, switch to costume ( (costume #) - (1) ) is actually 0 scripts.

Re: New scratch block

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying Gallade-X-Treme. Coolstuff is right, scripts are officially created by putting blocks with a curved top in the scripts area. I call those blocks "Script Starters" for some reason. The [switch to costume (costume # - 1)] block is not a script, and I'm not sure if YOU understand what a script is.

Re: New scratch block

a script is a set of blocks put together to make a action or statement, not a single block. Scrtach is supose to be a intro to script writing, if your too lazy to add 2 more things that should take you about 3 seconds then you'll never get along with more dificult programs such as flash.

1 more crack-up like that & you stay out of this topic! http://smileyjungle.com/smilies/evil6.gif I got the evil sprite from SmileyJungle

P.S.: You're dumb implying that I don't know what a script is. If I didn't, I wouldn't have 134 projects.

Re: New scratch block

Remind me why this topic is an argument again?  They probably won't implement the [previous costume] block since the alternative is so easy, but future versions of Scratch may have a sort of make-your-own-block feature.

Re: New scratch block

Gallade-X-treme is right!
Yes, of course you may use switch to costume(costume#-1). But why are you need <*> block? You may use reapeat(x) change by variable y
Or why are you need scratch at all? These things will make scratch better.

Re: New scratch block

Such a block would save a little bit of time but there are other blocks that I think have priority over this. To be honest, I don't think that this block will make a difference in peoples' programs because you can use goto costume (costume#-1).


Also, a block is not a script. A set of blocks is a script.

Gallade_X-treme, one block is not a script. this is a script:

[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if> <key[ left arrow ]pressed?>
<switch to costume[ (( costume # <-> 1 ))

Re: New scratch block

Just arrange your costumes so that you don't need a previous costume block! A more powerful block would be... "sensing: when I recieve [?]". Sure, it's unnecessary, but it would help.

Come on now. He didn't insult you so why are you insulting him? I personally do think that a when I receive block would be much more useful.
