A solid bock would make any sprite in the script solid so that things don't go through it. Can you please add it, pretty please?

You can make a script like this in the sprite that you don't want to go trough other sprites:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <touching [sprite v] ?> then 
go to x: (OldX) y: (OldY)
else
set [OldX v] to (x position)
set [OldY v] to (y position)
end
end

There are other ways but this is one of easier ways.

A solid block is just one block

You could do this:

define 
forever
if <touching [sprite v] ?> then 
go to x: (OldX) y: (OldY)
else
set [OldX v] to (x position)
set [OldY v] to (y position)
end
end

and put the block in the sprite.

The solid block would not have to be define if it gets added to scratch and it would help a lot of people making games.

But what can't go through it? What if it moves? There are a lot of things to think about, and you should just code it. And how would that work? Would it be like this block:

set rotation style [left-right v] // like this?
set toughness [solid v] :: motion // what you are looking for?

And what if you want them to only partially go through it?

Hey uh, this is a weird case but you could just make it go…

when green flag clicked
forever
if <not <touching [Sprite v] ?>> then 
set [X v] to (x position)
  
set [Y v] to (y position)
wait (0.1.1) secs //It waits for the update!
else
repeat until <not <touching [Sprite v] ?>>
go to x: (X) y: (Y)
end
end
end

or use…

Why are you having it wait 0.1.1 seconds?

Isn't that the same as 0.11 seconds?

I just do that, something I used to do back when I discovered that. Not many people call it out, so I just do it on reflex lol.

Ah, gotcha.

Back on topic.

I don't think this block should be added. There are so many things about it that vary, such as transparency, if traveled into, and many more. I suggest you just code it

Seconding this opinion - there are many workarounds and I don't really see how this would be helpful. Plus, I'm just imagining a block saying “be solid” - it just sounds so weird and out of place in a coding area.

Okay okay, now that we have this, wouldn't it be easier to make your own? You can make it a custom block and put it into the backpack. Then you can use it whenever you need it since it isn't clearly defined. No support.

0 seconds is better, because it waits exactly one frame.
