How can I have an object be invisible but still have the properties of being shown? For example, if you click on a certain place on a blank screen, something will happen. Thanks in advance.

This basically makes the sprite fully transparent.

Try that.

Thanks!

That'd work, but the problem is that it'd flash on and off of the screen, visually.

Actually, I tried my script and it didn't work. But if you set it to 99 instead of 100, it does. Still very invisible, and actually works.

The ghost effect works fine for me.

What I meant is that the ghost still works as it's supposed to, but when your ghost value is at 100 the sprite cannot be clicked.

The same thing that i've said before,. that's not happening to me.

Huh. What I did is I created a project where the normal scratch cat's ghost value is set to 100, and if it is clicked, it changes a variable by 1. It wasn't changing the variable. I then changed the ghost value to 99, and it worked fine.

Test https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/116484791/ if you want.

Here's what I had:

And it didn't work. I understand how yours worked and mine didn't, though, with the mouse down and touching mouse sensory blocks.

I've tested yours and the event block is unable to detect the sprite as you said.

And you said my idea wouldn't work

Yours works but adding lag because the hide an show are in a forever loop.

Yes, but a forever loop does not add much lag, if any at all, unless you have a crappy computer.

That isn't a valid reason to make an script inefficient.

If you feel like ‘forever’ is ‘innificient’ then why don't you replace it with a

And before you say ‘Yeah, but that causes lag too’, guess what the most viewed project on scratch is? Paper Minecraft. Take a quick look at the scripts and you will see that that ‘repeat’ block is used very often.

Also, I don't think he will make a very complex project where lag will be very much of a problem.

The whole script is inefficient not only a block, The blocks causing more lag are problaby the related with graphics, all belonging to looks (Show and Hide included) set of blocks, and those intended to detect a color when touching.
