I have a project and there is a glitch that i cannot fix, but you can make a new block. Can you make a glide block with steps? Here is how I imagine the block:

Glide _ seconds _ Steps

If you add this in scratch, thank you.

How would this work?

Does this block mean, keep moving a fixed amount of steps per frame for (number) seconds? Or would it instead take (number) seconds to move the fixed number of steps?

Number seonds

TO move the number of steps

That still doesn't explain…

Do you mean like

move (10) steps

but with gliding?

yes

FF76YT wrote:

yes

glide (10) secs to x: (0) y: (0)

Why isn't this suffice? You either want to glide or move steps, there's no way to do two at once.

I want to glide a certain amount of steps

For now, I know this is a really complicated block, but this might work for you:

glide (10) secs to x: ((x position) + ((50) * ([cos v] of (direction)))) y: ((y position) + ((50) * ([sin v] of (direction))))

You'll need to replace those 50s with the distance you want to go, and the 10 with the time (of course). Also, you won't find the “cos” and “sin” blocks in the block list; you need to take out an “abs” block instead (it's at the very bottom of the Operators list), then click the dropdown and change it to “cos” or “sin”.

Here's what the block looks like in another version of Scratch with easier-to-see blocks, if you're having trouble putting it together:



Have you heard of custom blocks? You could use a custom block to make this a bit simpler:

define glide (time) secs (dist) steps
glide (time) secs to x: ((x position) + ((dist) * ([cos v] of (direction)))) y: ((y position) + ((dist) * ([sin v] of (direction))))

Then you just use the “glide secs steps” block the same way you would any other block:

glide (10) secs (50) steps :: custom

(Edit: fill in [scratchblocks] tag after I forgot to, oops!)

repeat (10)
move (10) steps
end

This should work

It doesn't, because you have to glide with steps to those cordinates, and will require a block like

point to x (10) y (10)::motion

Thank you for your help all

Oops, I'm sorry I phrased my sentence badly. I meant that I, myself, had fixed a typo in my post. So you don't need to worry about it; my complete post is already there

It doesn't work
Can you help?

Okay! Try this project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/219579017/#editor

You can drag the big “define glide” script into your backpack, then put it into your own project. Here is a video showing you how to use the backpack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T4pOTHlHfM

(That video shows you how to use the backpack with sprites, but it works the same way for scripts.)

Once you have the “define glide” script in your own project, you can find the block in the “More Blocks” list, which is at the very end of the category list:

Thanks!
One more thing, can you add this block into scratch so I don't always have to type this in?

There's not really a way to do that, unfortunately. But once you have the “define” script in your backpack, you can always drag it out whenever you want.
