Most scripts start with

when green flag clicked

because the owner wants the script to automatically start.

What's “The Reason Why It Would Automatically Start”, eh? A little test.

Because that's what the block does?

Not quite.

Darn! I nearly had it.

So we can rule that suggestion out.

Because that's what the block does?

No. It's because there is a green flag button that you have to press before the project is shown to you.

Really?


Yup. So, this presses the green flag button.

It does?

Go try it.

Ok.

Your green flag is automatically pressed.

Wow.

Yes, wow.

What else can this Scratchblock do?

It can be used as a restart button as well.

How?

By creating a title screen backdrop, naming it titlescreen, then placing

switch backdrop to [titlescreen]

below

when green flag clicked

and this should give you a nice restart button. This can come in handy while you're making your project.

It can?

Yes, for situations such as testing games.

Should I always test my games?

Of course!

Why?

You might have a game that automatically makes you lose without you doing anything! I've done that before.

Funny!

I suppose it is kind of funny.

How do you make a game that lets you win or lose?

Tell you sometime.

When?

In another discussion.

But…

Not now.

If you want to find that out we'll talk later.

Fine.

Bye!

Bye, teedletum!

See you later.

It does this:

when green flag clicked
say [hi!]

click the green flag, and the sprite will say hi. that's what it does.

It does the stuff that you put when you click the green flag for example:

when green flag clicked
say [Hi!]

Its a hat block that executes the script when the green flag is pressed



DONE

it begins the scirpt by sensing that the green flag has been clicked

The green flag is just a hat block like the rest of the hat blocks.

You can start your project by pressing any key and not having any green flag block in the script.

Hey folks - thanks for helping out! However, this topic is rather old (from 2016), so I doubt the topic owner is still looking for answers. I would suggest looking for newer topics that have not yet been answered and respond to those instead.
