I need help with increasing a timer if the sprite is clicked 5 times in a row before it moves to another position.

when this sprite clicked
change [time v] by (-15)
if <[0] > (time)> then 
change [clicks v] by (1)
else
set [clicks v] to [0]
end
set [time v] to [0]
if <(clicks) > [4]> then
...
end
when green flag clicked
set [clicks v] to [0]
forever
wait (0) secs//Wait 1 frame; the wait block is a bit inaccurate and projects run at 30 frames per second.
change [time v] by (1)
end

or

when this sprite clicked
if <(timer) > [0.5]> then 
set [clicks v] to [0]
else
change [clicks v] by (1)
end
reset timer
if <(clicks) > [4]> then
...
end

It's not working. I'm making a game where you try to click the sprite as many times as possible in 30 seconds. What i'm trying to do is that if you you click the sprite 5 times before it randomly moves to a new location, the timer increases by 3.

You could try:

when green flag clicked
set [time v] to (30)
repeat until <(time) = [0]>
change [time v] by ((0) - (timer))
end

when green flag clicked
repeat until <(time) = [0]>
wait (stay in one position time) secs
go to [random position v]
end 

when this sprite clicked
change [clicks v] by (1)
if <(clicks) > [4]> then // greater than 4 so 5 and above
change [time v] by (3)
end

NOTE: This is severely not optimized. I hope this helps, but you can definitely ask if you need more specific code.

EDIT: The code definitely does not work, specifically the “change time by 0 - timer” (it just keeps subtracting the timer and it goes down very fast), so if anybody else can solve this, it would be much appreciated.

Sorry but I don't know how to do the blocks thing so I'm just gonna type this

When Start Clicked:
set (timer) to 30
repeat until (timer<1)
wait 1 second
change (timer) by -1
stop (all)

When Start Clicked
repeat forever:
wait (however many you want) seconds
go to (random position)
set (this time's clicks) to 0

When this sprite clicked:
change (total clicks) by 1
change (this time's clicks) by 1
if (this time's clicks=5)
change (timer) by 3

Nothing's working, i'm getting really stumped by this.

One more try:

when green flag clicked
set [time v] to (30)
repeat until <(time) = [0]>
wait until <(timer) > [1]>
change [time v] by (1)
reset timer
end

when green flag clicked
repeat until <(time) = [0]>
wait (stay in one position time) secs
go to [random position v]
end 

when this sprite clicked
change [clicks v] by (1)
if <(clicks) > [4]> then // greater than 4 so 5 and above
change [time v] by (3)
end

This might work.

I'll try this, but I already have the timer working. I just need it to increase by 3 seconds if the sprite is clicked before it moves to a new position, and then the clicks reset.

It kinda works, but after I click 5 times, it keeps increasing every time I click. I want the amount of clicks to reset to 0 every time it moves.

I forgot to add that feature lol

wait (some amount of time) secs
go to [random position v]
set [clicks v] to [0]

If you add that, it might help. However, it would help if I could see your code so I can see what it looks like.

Thanks, I got it working! I finished the beta because of your help! https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/972023661/

Happy to help!
