So, I'm making this game called Avoid the Hippos! And I want the player to be able to select their character from a few choices. I know how to sense a click on a sprite, but once they do it, how would I make the other sprites become hidden?

Here is an example:

If you have two characters (Let's just say they are called “bob” and “steve”) you can put this block in for both those characters:

If the player clicks Bob, you can have this:

When you broadcast a message, every sprite will get the message so this is what you put for Steve:

I hope that I helped! If you're a bit confused, you can always ask me for help and I can show a better example! Good luck!

Hi, thanks! It worked perfectly. But, now I'm having another problem. Let me show you

the sprites aren't hiding and the backdrop isn't changing, why is that?

Does it stop the project?
If it does: you can do these:
1: make sure the backdrop “bluesky3” actually exists with no spelling mistakes / extra spaces etc.
2: replace “broadcast game over” with “broadcast game over and wait”
It should work.

If it doesn't stop at all, maybe add an extra script that says:

Hopefully that helps.

im so happy

spamming is repeatedly saying something over and over.

Spamming is posting something that isn't relevant. That may not be the case here but still better to post a new topic and share your project.

Well incase anybody but me is here then I also want a character select, I have my menu set up and 2 buttons a ‘start’ button and a ‘select character’ button the title screen has a press here button that always disappears and when I have my ‘character select’ button loaded in it disappears sorta like this

Thank you very much! The thing is though, with this scratch, I don't have a brodcast box. How do I get one?

Please don't necropost. Make your own topic for others to help you.

Now since this is easy to do, I'll help you.

Look in the “Events” tab. There should be 3 blocks that relate to broadcast:

To make your own broadcast, click on the arrow in the block, and make a new message.

Hi my name is amari and you can use WASD or arrowkeys for moving your character around.

Do clones and put them each with different costumes. Then, do something like this:

Then check depending on what number was broadcast.
