How Do I Change Sprite When Backdrop Changes?

TheBloxofKingLolol

Hello!

I'm experiencing a new scripting; changing sprites when backdrop changes.

Although it sounds easier, I tried doing;

when backdrop switches to [ v]

switch costume to [ v]

or

when backdrop switches to [ v]
forever
switch costume to [ v]
end

Apparently, they both don't work, so if you find out a solution, I'll be satisfied and credit you!

Can you share the project?

Agreed.
Make sure that your sprite isn't hidden (look below the viewing window at the sprite's stats. Is the eye open or crossed over?)

Oh sorry

I meant this;

when backdrop switches to [ v]
switch costume to [ v]

AND

when backdrop switches to [ v]
switch costume to [ v]

I tried to make two, but they don't work.
P.S Is it okay sharing another project with the problem?

I'd just do:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <[backdrop] = [backdrop2]> then
set [backdrop2? v] to [1]
end
end

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(backdrop2?) = [1]> then
switch costume to [costume v]
end
end

You are doing:

when backdrop switches to [Backdrop1 v]
switch costume to [... v]

Instead of that, I would do:

when gf clicked
forever
if <(backdrop name)=[Backdrop1]> then
switch costume to [... v]
end
end

This will keep the program running (because of the forever loop) and it should work.

Much better to use wait until blocks - wait until backdrop is right one, switch backdrop and wait until not the right one (still in a forever loop). Switching backdrop in a forever loop forces Scratch to refresh the screen when it may not otherwise be required.

I am very confused on what your instruction is.

If possible, can you send an image of what it should correctly be?

codeman1044

deck26 is saying that your code should look like this:

when gf clicked
forever
wait until <(backdrop [name v]::looks)=[Backdrop1]>
switch costume to [ v]
wait until <not<(backdrop [name v]::looks)=[Backdrop1]>
switch costume to [ v]
