Hey All,

New to Scratch and am attempting to make an ocean scenario in which the Shark(controlled by the mouse pointer) is supposed to go after the different fish and eat them. However, I cannot manage to get the fish to disappear when the Shark is on top of them. I have tried adding a statement for when the shark is on top of the fish, have the fish change costume to a blank costume…ie: nothing. I am pretty sure the different fish, which are moving around the screen, are not recognizing the touch of the shark. Any ideas?

Thanks!

In fish sprite:

That's all you need…

Hmmmm…but then it doesnt start when the flag his pressed?

I have it set up so that when the * is pressed, if it touches shark, then it hides. However, it doesnt look like that is working.

Scratch that, looks like it worked! Not sure why it didn't go through the first time!

Now it appears I cannot move the sprite…I have it set to move randomly about the map and it appears it doesn't want to work

What scripts are you using to move it?

The basic problem is that while you are gliding, you are not sensing. See fish2 in my remix.

Here is your specific answer:
When I have attempted to do this programming this block does NOT work :

So if you are doing something like that then use this:

You're welcome

You should add a ‘show’ to all the fish so they appear after the green flag is clicked. As has already been pointed out the main problem is you're gliding instead of moving and you can't detect that you're touching the shark until the glide is done by which time you might not be touching.

If you do want to use glide then split the ‘if touching shark’ to a separate script along the lines of

How about try:

The important thing is getting the fish to appear at the start.

that's all you need.

please show the scripts so i can figure out ^-^
you don't have to show the project, click the 14th icon on the reply box and put the order of the scripts/blocks
