[Go to mouse-pointer] not working

UrAverageScracher

Greeting! I'm trying to make a throwable ball in Scratch. I'm finished with the overall ball physics but whenever I grab the ball while it is in mid air, it would slowly droop downwards even though the block is being repeated.

Here's the link to my project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/191151502/

Hmm. this is wired just took a look at a your code it's very clever though.

when green flag clicked
go to x: (0) y: (-90)

    repeat until <not <mouse down?>> 
      go to [mouse-pointer v]
      set [X Vel v] to (((mouse x) - (mouseX)) / (5))
      set [mouseX v] to (mouse x)
      broadcast [message1 v]
    end
  end
end

I understand. There was no boolean that detected a mouse down, it only detected if a mouse isn't down. The repeat script skipped because the entire script did not detect a mouse down.

This should work:

when green flag clicked
go to x: (0) y: (-90)
forever 
  if <<mouse down?> and <touching [mouse-pointer v] ?>> then 
    repeat until <not <mouse down?>> 
      go to [mouse-pointer v]
      set [X Vel v] to (((mouse x) - (mouseX)) / (5))
      set [mouseX v] to (mouse x)
      broadcast [message1 v]
    end
  end
end

@Charles12310 you don't need a double check for mouse down.
