How can I move something to x:-240 OR x:240 (either side of the screen)

ElectricalTears

I have an object that upon “dying”, goes to a random Y position, but it needs to go to either x:240 or x:-240 (the sides of the screen).
The Y position is no problem, because I can use the ‘pick random’ block.

when I receive [death]
go to x: () y: (pick random (-240) to (240))

For some reason the

<<> or <>>

black handles boolean in Scratch and not strings like the block on the discussion board suggests, so I can't even put in variables.
Maybe it was changed in a recent version? Bug?

When I receive death (that was just your broadcast) set variable to pick random 1 to 2 if variable = 1 go to 240 if variable = 2 go to -240

Got it

Thanks.

when I receive [Death v]
set [edge v] to (pick random (1) to (2))
if <(edge) = [1]> then
go to x: (-240) y: (pick random (-240) to (240))
else
go to x: (240) y: (pick random (-240) to (240))
end

when I receive [Death v]
go to x: (((pick random (0) to (1)) * (480)) - [240]) y: (pick random (-180) to (180))

when I receive [death v]
set y to (pick random (-240) to (240))
set [edge v] to (pick random (1) to (2))
if <(edge) = [1]> then
set x to (-240)
else
set x to (240)
    
end

I hope that helped!
