what if scratch had charater rigs? it would be easier to animate charaters but, harder to learn, so make a scratch+, with more, advanced features. Anyways, goodbye.

No support. Scratch is not an animation program. If you would like to do this yourself, create a vector costume, group its parts, and move the parts each costume as if it were a puppet.

Correct, or you can do it with bitmap if you're handy with the eraser tool

when green flag clicked
repeat (10)
wait (0.1) secs
next costume
end

A simple animation code.

You could actually program character rigs yourself if you want to. I won't explain how you can do that, but maybe I'll make a project on it someday.

No support.

I have already seen a suggestion like this before, but it was closed. Scratch is not an animation programming language, and it does not have enough three-dimensional support. I also do not agree with the Scratch+ thing, because it is rejected even though for a different reason.

6.2 A 13+ version of the Scratch website or age-restricted content
Scratch is designed for ages 8 to 16, but any content shared on the website must be appropriate for all ages. Dividing the community by making a separate, age-restricted website would not be helpful. Potential restrictions from entering the website (such as a warning, or requiring a parent to answer math equations) would not necessarily stop an underage child from entering the 13+ website.

This suggestion extends to age-restricting anything on Scratch, such as viewing specific projects, or viewing NFE (Not For Everyone) projects. As a general rule, Scratch is designed for all ages.

And before you think about getting the three dimensional space for creating a rig system inside the Editor, that is also rejected:

1.8 3D Scratch
The block below, and others, could be used with a z-axis in the project stage to make it easier to create 3D projects. But, Scratch is a language that is designed to be as easy as possible for beginners to learn. Adding 3D features would make the language more difficult for beginners to understand, and a 3D engine is not exactly the purpose of Scratch. There is a similar program to Scratch that contains block programming with 3D features, called Starlogo TNG. You can also try Alice; it is not exactly like Scratch, but has some similar features.

go to x: () y: () z: () :: motion

EDIT: Quoted the rejected suggestion box.
EDIT 1: Added details and rejected suggestion of 3D Scratch.

“Advanced” does not mean “inappropriate” or “age-restricted”. That's because things are “inappropriate” when they are potentially insulting*, while “advanced” things are just too complicated to be understood by most people.
*Either the potential is very high, or the insult is large.

I think that would be good, a cant explain it right here right now but if you search up any type of animation meme it will kinda give you the jist of what to do
like this one… mostly the last part (the lalalalalalalala part)

it is relevant to the discussion, so its allowed

eh, semi support, this would only really be useful in 3d animations (which arent on scratch), but if your character has an arm built with multiple parts, you can rig it and it would all move at once! it wouldnt be useful for me tho

bump

how do I animate a rigged character?
