Making objects fall.

Hi,

I'm new to scratch and I'm trying to make a game where objects fall from the top of the screen and you have to try catch them in a glass. I'm having trouble getting the objects to fall continuously and then go back to the top and repeat. If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

JK

when green flag clicked
forever

hide
go to x: (pick random (edge of screen) to (other edge of screen)) y: (top of screen)
change y by (-10)
show
repeat until <touching [glass v]?>
change y by (-3)

end
end
This will make the object fall until it touches the glass. Then it will go to a random position at the top of the screen and fall until it touches the glass. It will do this FOREVER.

P.S. Forever is a very long time.

Making objects fall.

Hi

Sorry to bother you again but my scripts don't seem to be implementing correctly. I followed your instructions but I think I haven't done the variables correctly. The aim is to keep the bottle caps falling and when they fall into the glass you get a point (but at the moment it only falls once). Then I'm going to add mentos which you will have to dodge. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks

JK

Do you mean this variable?
(top of screen)
If so, that is not supposed to be there. You're supposed to replace that with the x position of the top of the screen. If not, are you using a forever block?
