How do I change between costumes at random? - Please help!

Kite_The_Skywing

Hello! Could I please have some help?

You see, I'm making a game, and I want to make a sprite change costumes at random, for example,
There's a chicken, she has multiple costumes, one with a tutu, one with a hardhat, one with a pair of boots and one with a scarf.
What I need to happen is you get to a certain background and when you enter it picks one of these costumes at random.
if you need me to explain more please ask.
I really need an answer as soon as possible!

Please help!

Hi! Here's the code you can follow:

when green flag clicked
repeat (10)
switch costume to [(pick random (1) to (the number of costumes you have)) v]
end

I made a project that switches costumes, so maybe you can look inside the project. Look for the code in the leaf sprite.
Here's the link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/450768240/
If you can explain more, I can help. Ask me if you need anything.
Hope it helps!

I think this is what you're looking for!

when green flag clicked
switch costume to (pick random (1) to (10))

Just change the 10 to however many costumes there are.
Hope this helps!

Edit: double ninja'd, darn it

Wouldn't this better be fit in Help with Scripts? Or should it just get closed since it's answered anyway?
