I believe it does work. The wait block allows time for the costume to change, so the loop would just make it go over and over. Unless there is something else? Could you explain what the grey block is? Is it the rest of the code?

SUPPORT!!!! This would really help when I need to move multiple costumes at once. I really don't wanna move each and every costume to a specific spot.

Support. This would help not only animators, but gamemakers as well, such as me. I have multiple player sprites and I need to put 8 costumes in two other sprites from the first one, and it would save a lot of time if I could just select all of them and drag all 8 to the other two. It would be a huge help, honestly.
Support. I agree.

I think we can not only limit it to costumes but also we can go to multiple sprites and costumes copying as well. But i don't know what mess would this create.

Support, this could be useful for doing animations faster. Besides, this user called @Jamwhalol always wants me to make text engines, so this would be helpful for me to make them faster.

It's the rest of the code, and is often used in the forums to represent filler code. However, this doesn't work because the suggestion is to implement a feature to select more than 1 of costume at the same time when copying or deleting.

Let's say you're animating a walking cycle. You doing this animation frame-by-frame. You need to make your character walk for a few seconds. To do this, you need to animate the same thing over and over again. You can use the copy tool to copy a costume and put it in order. But here's my suggestion:

Being able to select multiple costumes at once.

The reason I want this feature is so you select multiple costumes, then you can right click to delete or copy all of them at once without having to do all of the individual costumes. I think this would be very helpful when you're animating something very big frame-by-frame. If there's already a way to do this, please tell me because it would be very helpful for the animation I'm working on now.


<i need this feature. I need for animate.
<It's more difficult thn it looks to animate this way.

Select Multiple Costumes At Once

support, it's annoying to copy a single costume at a time. I wonder how animators would be able to do so, if they had 100 costumes or something.
animators with 100 costumes - selecting one at a time :: events hat

Support- perhaps the ST could add shift-click and/or ctrl-click support for selecting multiple costumes.
But on my device I can’t see the ctrl key.

Regarding this question, I do not know if someone already said what I am going to say but There is “Kind of” a method to do it but you need first to export the costumes you want to “duplicate” and to make them more easy to find put them in a folder. after that, you can bulk-import those files/costumes back into scratch and you would have duplicated all of those. but it would only help if you need to duplicate it more than once, otherwise just duplicate the costumes. I have done this before and it just helps me to work on a system in a silly game I am working on.
