I already figured out how to move, but I am having trouble changing costumes, while I move. Not when it stops. Please Help!

You could just add a ‘next costume’ after each change of x or y.

thanks

However, if you notice your player is moving too fast and you're not satisfied with it, there IS a way to slow it down.

repeat (as many times as you want)
next costume
wait (0.05) secs
    
end

I have another question, how do you change direction when going back? https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/100200428/#editor

When you know you're moving left point in direction -90; when you know you're moving right point in direction 90.

So in the scripts that look for the left and right arrow keys include a ‘point in direction’ block.

Thank you, and I added a new costume for when I jump, but it does not stay on the line when I move. How do I make it so that costume3 only appears when I jump, and stay on the line? https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/100200428/#editor

Your walking costumes are the first two. Get rid of the forever loops around the left/right arrows and replace with the following. I'll show you two ways to do it, and you can pick the one that makes most sense to you

when [right arrow v] key pressed
change x by (3)
switch costume to ((((costume #) + (2)) mod (2)) + (1))

when [left arrow v] key pressed
change x by (-3)
if ((costume #) = (1)) then
switch costume to [costume2 v]
else
switch costume to [costume 1 v]
end

You can also get rid of that other forever with the following:

when [up arrow v] key pressed
set [gravity v] to (15)
switch costume to [costume3 v]
change y by (gravity)
repeat until <touching color [#000000] ?>
change [gravity v] by (-1)
change y by (gravity)
end
switch costume to [costume1 v]

I'm on a personal mission to teach new programmers to not use the forever block. I think this approach is a lot better.

I used the second one, but I do not want costume3 to be there when I walk. How can I fix that?

If you use the scripts I gave you it should never use costume3 when walking. You need to use my up arrow script to make that the case.

One possible improvement is instead of using “if costume # = 1” is to use “if costume # > 0”. This will help if you have a bug where you have not reset back from costume 3.

You might want to also think about what behavior you want when the user presses the left or right arrow keys while they are jumping.

How do you make a start screen that is accessible ? This is what I got so far—>https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/100200428/#editor

you could add another script that is timed to the motion or have a message sent

How do I make it so that costume 1 appears only when you switch to backdrop 1? https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/100200428/#editor

One option would be to have a script to set the next costume. It should have a min and max costume number so that if changing to the next costume takes it outside its allowed range it sets the costume to the min. The switching to different backdrops should set the min (and max if necessary) to appropriate values.

How do you automatically go to the game over screen when you hit “angry potato”? https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/100200428/#editor

How does it look so far? https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/100200428/#editor

How can I make a character change costumes between a certain range of costumes?
Please it is Urgent

This is a really old post, I'm sure that these people don't still need help after 4 years.
