Hi everyone!
I'm thinking about adding a

change width by ()

or

change height by ()

Why? I think this block will be effective because it may help with animation, as much as people use the

change size by ()

I think these blocks will be equally effective, and a good add to Scratch.

Amount of People who support: 8

Also a redirect to: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/2482/

Uh… Support? I mean, sure, I guess it will be useful. And I can't think of a reason why not to have this.

Support. Possibly a duplicate but still support

Bump

Duplicate. Choose either.

Technically, the first link person copied me…

I don't get what you are saying though.. what do you mean?

They mean it's a copy of some other post, so you choose either to “support ot non support” on.


Anyway, yes support. I could do funny things with this!

Ahh, ok. Well I do support with the second one I guess, it makes sense to revive it for older projects.

A duplicate is a suggestion that has already been suggested. Don't worry, this happens often because of the search bar's limited ability to search and human psychology for not looking past page 1.
A stretch block? Support, I would probably use this for something…

Support but a dupliate of multiple topics

//would it be like this?
change [width v] by () :: looks
set [height v] to () % :: looks

Yeah!

Support! I have tried many times to get a stretch effect and it is hard! This would make it much simpler!

Support! I think these were obsolete blocks in the older version, and I just don't see a reason why not to have it.

Blockset?

(width :: looks)
(height :: looks)

Something like that, yeah!

Question:
when its height is stretched, will the sprite grow downwards, upwards, or equally on both sides?

I would suppose equally on both sides, and it will grow accordingly to the direction it is facing.

BUMP

It is a duplicate, but support.

What?
Currently, Scratch has the “set size” block but not a “set length” or “set width” block. They would be a great addition to Scratch.
They should go under the “looks” category and look something like this:

Change [width v] by (-1) % // category=looks
([Width v]) // category=looks

change [stretch v] effect by (25) // and maybe even this!

Why?
This would be very helpful to 1st Person projects, 3D projects and some cool effects (e.g. the retro TV turn-off effect).
Where?
A good example of this is on JavaScript, for example, the rect(); function:

rect(x, y, width, height);

Of course, I don't mean Scratch should turn this into a JavaScript community, but there should be the “set length”, “set width”, “change length” and “change width” blocks. This is applicable by the pen tool right now, but not all Scratchers are master designers (like me), so these blocks are the perfect opportunity to create these projects. THANK YOU!

Support.
