I have a question… I'm working on a game right now, and the main thing I'm using in the game is a list. But for some weird reason there is no block that says: replace this with that. It's: replace 1 with that. What if I don't want 1, what if I want something else. Is there anything I can do?

Ah - so the “1” is for list item 1, but you can click and set it to a different list item number if you like.

Btw - feel free to post in “Help with Scripts” - that way others who are searching for answers to similar questions can find it easier.

Ahh, yes, the scripting help forums… With the new cloning feature, how do you broadcast to an individual clone of a sprite, or is that impossible?

As a long time Scratcher, I have found new meaning to the name “Scratch”: for me, it means to “scratch that itch”, to come back again and again to realize new ideas in this toy language, even when I'm capable of creating my projects in real programming languages years later. It's a friend that helped me to pursue programming and get me to enjoy its fruit. I'm certain many others who have walked this path as well have grown fond of its importance in their life.

Well, there is a way, though it'd still involve broadcasting to every clone. So, first create a local variable in the sprite that gets cloned (“Clone ID”), and a global one (“Base ID”). Then, set (Base ID) to 1, set every new clone's (Clone ID) to (Base ID), and change (Base ID) by 1 after every cloning. Now every clone has it's own unique ID!

Now, all you have to do is broadcast like normal, and use this script on the receiving end:

When I receive [Broadcast v]
if <(Clone ID) = (4)>
 Scripts...
end

I hope that this helps!

IF ANYONE WAS WONDERING HOW TO JUMP:
first, take 2 repeats (both 10 repeat) and stick em together. Then, take 2 “change y” boxes and set 1 in the first repeat, with change y by _ (1 - 9 is good) and then the second change y one in the second repeat box and make it a -_. To make it more realistic, add a wait box inbetween the repeat boxes.
EXAMPLE:
When W pressed:
repeat 10
change y by 6
wait 0.1 seconds
repeat 10
change y by -6

DA PERFECT JUMP!

Hey, can you add a link to some of my forums topics under More Advanced topics?

How to make a sprite click and drag normally with scripts

Dragging is built in, but what about turning it on or off? This is what it's for.

Collision sensing

The collision example is in Show and Tell. Perhaps I should make a second one… ?

Thanks for the ride, Scratch Team and community! Unfortunately, the time has come for me to move on from Scratch, so I'll no longer be using the forums. Thanks again, and farewell!
Invisible text! This will show you if a profile I claim to be mine IS mine. Just remember to visit the profile and see if I confirmed in the comments.
For old time's sake, see the revolutionary Laser Battle 2.0! Also see Unstoppable Game!

And no, the evil kumquats didn't alter my signature…

You should post this question in Help with Scripts - it's more likely to get an answer there
