How do I make a sprite change costume almost each time it moves when it has more than one costume?

WTayler

So my sprite has multiple costumes for when it's running and for some reason I can't pin down how to make it move while switching through the costumes every time I press either right arrow key, or left arrow key.

So far here is my program for define_run:

define run

if <(char:move) = [1]> then 
point towards [sensor_right v]
switch costume to <(costume #) = [15]>
repeat until <not <key [right arrow v] pressed?>>
if <(costume #) = [28]> then 
switch costume to <(costume #) = [15]>
wait (0.1) secs
else
if <(costume #) < [14]> then
switch costume to <(costume #) = [15]>
else
switch costume to ((costume #) + [1])
change x by [5]
wait (0.1) secs
end

end

else

end

The booleans essentially only report true or false (other then the last one, which changes the costume num by 1; it's a reporter, not a boolean) so you're essentially saying “switch costume to true” or “switch costume to false”…

But earlier one when I used the same script, it switch the costume by it's currently set costume by 1. I want it to do that but move as well in an orderly fashion. Something like if all the booleans are false, then its repeatedly activates this until one of these are true.

The booleans are fine in the if blocks but you don't want them in the switch costume blocks.

Well thank you both for fixing my error, but it still doesn't move.

Can you share your project so we can see if there are any other scripts that are conflicting. It makes it much easier than just guessing at what the issue is.

I put this in a Scratch beginners tutorial. You can see the project here:

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/121209255/

Then in the notes it has a bunch of youtube videos where I explain how it works if you are interested.

In your case you would follow the example of starting the walking animation using a broadcast like in my project, but then stop the animation when the key was no longer pressed.

Hi! Thank you for offering your help, but this thread is pretty old - I don't think it's relevant anymore. When you respond to a topic, please make sure it's recent and the original poster still needs an answer. Thanks!
