tbh id be surprised if this isnt a dupe

What i'm suggesting is that some (or even all possibly??) sprites in the sprite library should have at least one script already in them, possibly with some notes explaining what they do. Of course, all scripts would remain relatively simple so that anything more complex can be made by users.

For example, the Cat sprite seems like it's obviously meant to be a walking animation, so it could have something like this.

when green flag clicked
repeat (10)

switch costume to [costume-a v]
move (10) steps
switch costume to [costume-b v]
move (10) steps
end

Scratch has always meant to be an in-between of letting people be creative by making things by themself and doing things for them, so that way people can be assisted in their creating but its still theres.
I also think this suggestion embraces remix culture, as it will teach those who aren't familiar with the blocks how they work by showing them what they do.

I have a feeling this used to be in Scratch 1.4, like, I vaguely remember this. I don't know if I ever did the right thing to get it to work, but I see how this could be helpful for those who are looking for more examples.

Yes, it definitely was. I wonder why they took it out…

Scratch Wiki says “In Scratch 1.4, some sprites included in the library had premade scripts.”
Why would they remove that…?

Maybe to encourage people to code their own scripts but even still that doesn't seem like a great reason…

Wait, this doesn’t already exist?? I vividly remember this being a feature… I guess they removed this. Anyways, support. It will help beginners out by giving them a little “tutorial”.

Wasn’t it in 2.0 too? Back when my dad lived with me we found a sprite with some code in it. I don’t remember though, it’s been a long time…

It was.



And as @AnimeFan689 pointed out, this is also in Scratch 2.0. Specifically, in the “Ode-To-Code” sprite:

epic accomplishment… first time the 60 second rule has gotten to me in over a year

tbh they could have a script library

Yes, but isn't that what the tutorials are for?

im pretty sure this wasn't there atleast during 2.7, but maybe it was earlier

i mean yeah

bump!

This can actually enhance the learning part of scratch but will there be any way to remove the code automatically?

Right click (in code editor) > Delete x blocks

Support, but not all of them, and all should have a non-scripted version (ex. Ant vs. Running Ant)

why???

Because, sometimes you may want a specific sprite without any scripts.
