How to make a toggle on/off script with only one button

Thelnvoker

So I'm making a test project, in which the sprite starts off showing, but when the space key is pressed, the sprite hides. If the space key is pressed again, it shows. I set up a variable to test this, but it won't work. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

when green flag clicked
set [Look ] to [showing ]
forever
    
if (<[Look] = [showing ]>) then
show
if (<[Look] = [hiding ]>) then
hide
if <key [space] pressed?> then
if (<[Look] = [showing ]>) then
hide
if (<[Look] = [hiding ]>) then
hide
    
end

    
end

    
end

    
end

    
end

end

This script above may have mistakes that are different from the actual script, so if you need me to clarify, let me know.

Always glad to see someone trying out programming.

Oh, how I wish they never had included ‘forever’ in Scratch (bit of a theme for me in forum posts). It's almost always the wrong approach and seems so tempting at first.

when gf clicked
set [Is Visible v] to [true]
show

when [space v] key pressed
if <(Is Visible) = [true]> then
set [Is Visible v] to [false]
hide
else
set [Is Visible v] to [true]
show
end

This did not work for me when trying to make a volume toggle.

Hello, please check the dates of topics and recent posts before posting on them. In the future you should make new topics instead of posing on old ones. Thank you.

For making a volume toggle you could have two sprites (An addition sign and a subtraction sign) and have them use;

when this sprite clicked
change volume by ()//increasing or decreasing depending on button

I used to be active on the forums, but I have mostly moved past Scratch. I still do check my Scratch messages, so if you'd like to talk to me, just leave a comment on my profile. My main project on Scratch was Cookie Clicker, but my newest project is Snake Snake, a game based off of Snake, but with two snakes, and you can play either singleplayer or multiplayer.

Lol this was made like at least half a year ago, I should close this topic anyways
