I would like Sprite 1 to change into Costume 2, after it has come into contact with Sprite two 3 times.

I haven't got any script for this yet, as I don't know how to do this at all.

Help in this area and examples if possible, would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I can help you check out my project Endy on picnic.Go inside and go in Endy's scripts you will see something like this:

when green flag clicked
if <> then
<touching [paws v] ?>
end

broadcast [ v]

Put this in sprite 1:

when green flag clicked
repeat (3) // how many times it should touch
wait until <touching [sprite2 v] ?>
wait until <not <touching [sprite2 v] ?>>
end
switch costume to [2 v]

Edit: Ninja'd

That hasn't worked for some reason…..

How would you write the script to say:

If Sprite 1 receives ‘Broadcast 1’ three times, it changes costume?

sorry for this

I've tried replacing the ‘when green flag clicked’ that awesome-llama posted, with ‘when I receive Broadcast 1’ and it didn't work.

when I receive [broadcast1 v]
change [foo v] by (1)

when green flag clicked
set [foo v] to [0]
forever
if <(foo) = [3]> then
show
end
end

Put both of those in the sprite you want to show.

I've also tried what Endy777 put, but it hasn't worked.

Sorry, what does foo mean, Candylanguagegirl?

Do you have the broadcasting script set to broadcast 1? If not, then reset the broadcasting script as the broadcast won't fire properly.

I have entered the script that candylanguagegirl suggested and it has worked.
However, when it changes costumes the other scripts don't work…. Any ideas anyone?

DownsGameClub - yes, I have tried out. Now that I have changed the script, when the sprite changes costume it won't show up or work when I need it to.

foo is the default name for the variable in the scratchblocks plugin.

go to the project link, below, backpack the scripts and use them. they should work. its cluttered, and you will need to change the

when [ space v] key pressed

block to your controlls, or some other thing, but if you press the spacebar until scratchcat touches the circle 3 times, it changes.

The solution is simple.
Use a variable to count how many times Sprite 1 has received the broadcast. For example:

when I receive [Broadcast 1 v]
change [counter v] by (1)
if <(counter) = [3]> then
switch costume to [costume2 v]
end

And just have it so that Sprite 1 receives the broadcast every time it touches Sprite 2.
Actually, you could even remove the broadcast altogether and condense everything into one script. Like so:

when green flag clicked
set [counter v] to [0]
forever
if <touching [Sprite 2 v] ?> then
change [counter v] by (1)
if <(counter) = [3]> then
switch costume to [costume2 v]
end
end
wait until <not <touching [Sprite 2 v] ?>>
end

That last “wait until” block is to make sure the counter variable doesn't keep increasing to infinity while the sprites stay in contact.

Does that help?

I think I have an answer to your query: (the variable names can be changed)

when green flag clicked
set [ (foo)] to [0]
switch costume to [ v]
forever
if <touching [ v] ?> then
change [ (foo)] by (1)
if <(foo) = [3]> then
switch costume to [ v]

end
end
end

can you help me im trying to get my sprite to change costume when my dragon touches my sprite
