How do I make a sprite pick up another sprite. For example, my sprite is supposed to pick up a block by pressing the up key. How can i get it to do this? Please and thank you.

the holder script

when [up arrow v] key pressed
broadcast [pickup v]
when [down arrow arrow v] key pressed
set [whatever v] to [0]


the object to be picked up



when I receive [pickup v]
repeat until <[1] = (whatever)>
    
go to x: () y: ()
end

enter into the empty spaces the block of x and y positions of the other sprite

oops I meant what I have made it now

Hmmm…sounds pretty tricky. Try this: Make your character's arm a seperate Sprite, and program:

~Under the arm Sprite:

forever
 if <(up) = [0] >then
  go to [full character v]


when [up arrow v] key pressed
   set (up) to [1]
   movement stuff
   set (up) to [0]
   

And after that all you need to do is make your character's movement conditional:It can't move if

< (up) = [1] >

Hope this helps!

First, I would make a pickup costume in my sprite. Then, I'd program it like so:

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <key [up arrow v] pressed?> then
    
switch costume to [pickup v]
set [pickup v] to [1]
end
end

Next, I'd program into my block sprite;

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <[pickup] = [1]> then
change y by (you'd have to experiment with this...)
    
end
end

Hope this helps!

Hey guys, how can i make the girl pick up basketball and run with it? quick answers plz

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <key [up arrow v] pressed?> then
switch costume to [pickup v]
broadcast [pickup v]
end

end

In the block sprite…

when I receive [pickup v]
hide

In this case the pickup costume is the sprite with the block and you hide the block.
