Hello, Scratchers!

Now, I'm creating a game. Basically, there is a bat, and he has to avoid obstacles, and I'm trying to code the part when the character hits an obstacle. But, here's the problem: I've been trying to make a code, which basically says if this sprite touches the obstacle, switch to GAME OVER. All the sprites will disappear, by the way. But, I really need to know another way of making this script. I'll be trying another way, whilst I see the replies.

Did you use a broadcast block to tell all the sprites to hide?

The best way to do this would be

forever // in your character sprite
if <touching [enemy v]> then
broadcast [game over v]
end
end

when I receive [game over v] //in each of the sprites you want to disappear
hide

when I receive [game over v] //in your game over sprites
show

I learned that myself like 3 days ago!!!

I have a different method:

when green flag clicked
forever // in your character sprite
if <touching [enemy v]> then
stop [all]
end
end

when [timer v] > (0.01) //in each of the sprites you want to disappear
hide

when [timer v] > (0.01) //in your game over sprite/sprites
show

when green flag clicked
forever
reset timer
end

this does mean that whenever you press the stop button it game overs.
Or whenever you press see inside

A message can be created using the

 broadcast [message1 v] 

block. simply click on the drop-down menu, then choose new message, enter a name, and you can now use a message to broadcast to other blocks!

You had a question that was what do you mean by that

Hey, Scratchers!

Oh, I didn't know how to create a message with the:

broadcast [ v]

Hey Scratchers,

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it!

Thanks to llloofagelll for the alternative way. That was what helped me out.

I may need help on another topic since I'm very young (I'm not telling my age, it's personal info). I haven't really used Scratch, I'm usually into script coding.

“But, I really need to know another way of making this script.”

Well, try creating a non-cloud variable and calling it Lives. The best way is to have at least three lives, even if the bat has to avoid obstacles. Then go to the Sensing blocks and grab a touching ( ) ? and select the sprite you want the bat to lose lives from. then grab an if < > then block and put the Sensing block in the top part. Lastly, find the Lives variable, and when the Flag is clicked, set Lives to 3, then use another variable block and put that in the Sensing code. It should be like this: If <touching ( square )?> Then change Lives by -1.
