Scratch Team Member, kayak and pickleball enthusiast, cat caregiver.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

Shouldn't this be stickied, though?

All of my rather helpful and/or constructive topics were on the 1.4 forums. If I see or make any around here, I would be glad to give you the link to them.

Great idea! I'll definitely be referring back to this sometimes. If I see anything that should be put here, I'll let you know!

(P.S. Glad to see the top bar on the post editing was fixed - I couldn't get any of the dropdowns to work.)

Edited for future.

You can not upload a scribble project to the scratch cloud.
sb. is the 1.4 format and sb2. is the 2.0 format

how does cloning work i know that clones can be created and that you use when i start as a clone but how do you actually do it

If I modded Scratch, I'd probably do some more things about cloud variables. For example, you should be able to retrieve a cloud variable value from a different project, using something like this:

get [variable] from http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/[12345678]

Another thing you should do about cloud variables is that you can somehow store color values in it for art editors.

I'll mod Scratch also to enhance pen scripts. For example, the current pen commands are based on the HSLA color system. I'll add a new block:

set pen saturation to (100)

This sets the saturation to 100. 0 = gray, 100 = full color.

Another block:

set pen alpha to (100)

For the alpha, 0 = transparent and 100 = opaque.

I like the idea of alpha, but it should be called transparency

This may be helpful if making extensions gets more popular.

This topic should be one of them. Thanks for the list!

All sprites can create clones with this block and it's options.

create clone of [myself v]
create clone of [the name of any sprite besides the one the block is in v]

Then the clone is created and it will start with all the same properties as the sprite it is a clone of. ie. if the sprite1 was hidden when a clone of sprite1 was created, then the clone will be hidden until a block changes that.
Also, any variables that are “for this sprite only” can be different in a clone than in the “parent sprite” or the original one. So if there's a block under

when I start as a clone

that changes a “for this sprite only” variable, that will only be in that particular clone and will be what it was before to other things.

For more info, see a better and more detailed description about cloning

You should add the 2.0 modding guide, even though it's already its own sticky.

A retired Scratcher who won't be using scratch. I usually go on the forums. I mostly play Unturned, but sometimes, I make mods for games. Knows many programming languages: 100% of HTML, about 60% of CSS, 1% JS, 2% of C#, 50% TSC (for CS modding) and, 1% ASM. Is experienced at Beatbox. I also like writing stories about topics that are interesting to me. I'm well known for my variety of skills that range from programming, art, music, writing, and more. Yes, I have too many hobbies, and I am in 6 fandoms right now!
