Switch costume to (Variable)?

burroughszeb

forever
    
switch costume to [() v]
end

So I was wondering if I could do something like this?
Where the variable determines the number of the costume.
If So why won't it work?
Please Help!!

burroughszeb

forever
    switch costume to (Number)
stop [this script]
end

This is what my code looks like.

i don't know why you have the

stop [this script v]

you can do it like this

forever
    
switch costume to (cos var) 
end

broadcast [1+ v]

broadcast [1- v]

when I receive [1+ v]
change [cos var v] by (1)

when I receive [1- v]
change [cos var v] by (-1)

Hope it helps!

This didn't really help
I need the stop variable. Trust me.

Anyways, I have a variable that changes 0-9
So that is why I wanted to know if I could link that with costumes.

switch costume to (look at me I'm a variable :D)

This makes it so that the costume changes to the variable. For example, if the variable is 6, it changes to the 6th costume. (If it's 0, it just changes to the last costume)

When I did that it didn't work though.

It should indeed work but do you have costume names which are numbers as that can confuse things - eg does switch to costume 3 mean the costume with name ‘3’ or the third one. I'd always use costume names starting with a character so eg

switch costume to (join [C] (variable))

switch costume to [(costume)]

I do use numbers for costume names.
So you're saying if I use character names
it should work?

Ok it did not work.
I named all my costumes “A” through “J”,
Put them in the order that I wanted them,
but nothing happened.
So I changed it back to the working version.

Here is a link to my project, It's the “Panel” sprites that I am having trouble with.
They work with the current code, but I want it to be simplified.

My point was not to have purely numeric costume names. My scripts would have coped with costumes called C1, C2 etc which is safer. If you're still having problems you need to share the project - as you've been told this should work so you're probably missing something that someone else might spot.

Edit - sorry, I see you have shared. The last paragraph looked like a signature so I ignored it!

So you're doing just what I was saying was a problem - you have, for Panel_1 the situation where the costume called 4 is actually costume number 2 and so on. That is asking for confusion. And at the start of the script for that sprite you set Number to false which doesn't match any of the ‘if’ statements.

If you want a 3 to appear it's much better to have a costume C3 which gives you that number. Then if a variable is set to 3 you can do the join I suggested to get costume C3 which matches. NB the costumes are C1, C2, C3 etc so the join can work - I'm NOT suggesting A1, B2, C3 etc.

Please create your own new topic and share the project.

I think you need to do it like this:

forever
if <(foo) = [1]> then
switch costume to [1 v]
end
end

and then repeat that. That is what I'm having to do

axisjack

when I receive [switch custome]
switch costume to [foo]
