Previous costume button

ChillsChill

I need help on my code. As you allready know there is a Next Costume button:

next costume

But there is not a Previous Costume button?? How do I make one?

previous costume

You can rely on the costume number:

(costume #)

and on this block:

switch costume to (some number)

That isn't the same as previous costume.

switch costume to ((costume #) - (1))

Why did the replies only appear once I posted something?

Here's what you can do:

when this sprite clicked
switch costume to ((costume #) - (1))

The costume # represents the number of the current costume it's on. So if it changes to that number minus one, it will go to the previous costume.

Hope that helps!

Yes, @NormalMaker, your answer is the proper answer to the question. My answer was too generic.

Lets say there is a sprite in my game with 4 costumes. If I want the animation to go like this, 1 2 3 4 , 4 3 2 1. like it is cycling through and then back. How do i do that?

The other posters replied quicker than you. By the time you posted, they already did so when the page loaded, that's when you can see that it happened already. Just look at the post time. All within minutes of each other.

You could use two loops.

forever
repeat (4)
next costume
end
repeat (4)
switch costume to ((costume [number v]::looks) - (1))
end
end

Heres my code it dont work

when green flag clicked
forever
next costume

when green flag clicked
forever

if <(costume #) = [4]> then

switch costume to ((costume #) - (1))

switch costume to [1 v]
repeat (3)
next costume
end
repeat (3)
switch costume to ((costume #) - (1))
end

You can do these things that other people are saying and then I would make it into a custom block.

Thank you everyone!

I used the script for this game https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/505352495/ TYSM!

I know, it is basically a closed topic, but I cannot resist sharing my code below. It uses only ONE loop inside the forever loop. (The solutions above needed two loops inside the forever loop).

switch costume to [ costume 1 v]
set (i v) to [1]
forever
repeat (3)
wait (0.4) secs
switch costume to ((costume #) + (i))
end
set (i v) to (() - (i))
end

Multiple loops isn't always bad though. For a lot of things a simpler method is better than a more elaborate one. Still good practise for programming though if you can challenge yourself with such limitations.

Yes, @awesome-llama. My code is not more effective. It is just more compact. At least, for me.
