hello world. i am making a program with many backdrops and sprites so i NEED to know what the message 1 block is. thanks.

Do You Mean This Block:

when I receive [message1 v]

If so then this is the receive block. It works with the broadcast block. What it does is allows sprites to communicate with each other without variables. Say you wanted to have one sprite appear when another was clicked. Then your script would look like this for the first sprite:

when this sprite clicked
broadcast [clicked v]

And then for the other sprite:

when I receive [clicked v]
show

Hope this helped!

try this script

when this sprite clicked
broadcast [ v]

when I receive [ v]
[/scratchblocks[scratchblocks]
]
play drum ( v) for (0.2) beats



[/scratchblocks]

You can also make variables and broadcasts work together. They're very powerful tools.

Please create your own topic rather than posting on an old one belonging to someone else.

I advise creating your own topic rather than posting on an old/resolved topic. This is known within the forums as a necropost.

Also, the “message 1” block is known as a broadcast block, which when run will send out a signal that receiving blocks can pick up. The link I provided contains some good information about that block.

Please don't spam or necropost.

When you use the broadcast message1 it sends a trigger to all the sprites but only if it has the Recive message1 block. This should be useful for anyone who has not done this before. cibibies

You can use the

when I receive [ v]

and

broadcast [ v]

if it's for single use things, but if you want to save your mouse pad, i would suggest using variables for multiple functions.

I agree with deck26 cause it could hurt someone's feelings saying this : wqFHGEQTY
If a member of the scratch team find out about bigfatsmelly they will not be happy about it because if it does not make sense they have to dealte the comment
