In Pacman when the ghosts go blue how could you make a script that lets pacman eat them. Help me.

I would prefer a video walkthrough or a picture if you guys don't mind to.

Sorry i cant make a video or picture but if you have the death script, put it in an if else block (put it in else) Have in the if: <if touching colour blue> broadcast Ghost () eaten (dependant on which ghost) and have the ghost (when he recieves it) hide and go to centre wait () sencoonds and show (if you have points just add whatever to them after he is eaten)

Try this

-when pacman collects a dot, set a variable called “edible” to yes
-broadcast “run ghosts”
-have the ghosts switch to their blue costumes when they receive “run ghosts”
-when the ghosts are blue and then change back turn the variable “edible” back to no

-if pacman ever touches a ghost
-if edible = yes
-eat the ghost
-else
-pacman is eaten

When Pacman eats the pellet, the ghosts change costumes to the blue one. When Pacman hits a ghost, check to see which costume is active on the ghost. If it's the blue one, pacman gets a snack. If it's the regular one, the ghost gets a snack

Guys I need help on this too. Please include a video or picture ASAP.

Videos or pictures won't help. You need code.

There are many pacman-like games on Scratch. “look inside” some of them.

Do you just want to know how the actual eating works (how to detect that a ghost caught pacman, or pacman caught a blue ghost and changes color) or do you need to know how to make the ghosts chase after pacman? (which is a bit more complex)

make a varible named edible or power pellet

go to opearators find this block {blank = blank}

now put edible into {blank = blank} it will be like this {edible = blank}

now in the last blank part you need to copy this for an another one now

in that two blocks type this {edible = yes} {edible = no}

you need {edible = no} for dieing you need {edible = yes} for eating ghosts

bring two of this blocks if then

put {edible = yes} in the first if then block and then put the another in the second one

if then (1) if then (2)
{edible = yes} {edible =yes}

now how do you die?


download game over sound

download some pictures pacman is dieing

do this
-forever
-if then
-play sound game over
-switch costume to game over 1
-wait 0.1 seconds
-switch to costume game over 2
-wait 0.1 seconds
-switch costume to game over 3
-stop all

now how do you eat ghosts?
do this
download power pellet sound

-forever
-if then
oh i forgot to tell you something you need an another if block
- if then
-hide
if that does not work go to this project https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/512047386/

Why is no one using scratchblocks? anyways, it should look like this:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(scared) = [false]> then 

  chase pacman
switch costume to [normal v]
else
if <(scared) = [true]> then
switch costume to [scared v]
go away from pacman
end
end
