Hi, I'm trying to make a collect as many as you can game with a chicken and egg. Once the chicken picks up the first egg, more eggs should appear but I've been struggling with having the egg stay in the drop off location and having more eggs appear. I was going to make individual sprites for each egg but that seems tedious so I tried using the duplicate tool but it's not yielding the results I need. This is my first project overall in scratch, I think I got ahead of myself. If anyone can help, it would be awesome!

Use clones.

when green flag clicked
show
create clone of [myself v]
hide

when I start as a clone
go to [starting position v]
wait until <touching [player v] ?>
create clone of [myself v]

A setup like this, or similar to this, should work for your game.

This will be more efficient than using several sprites.

when flag clicked
show
create clone of myself
hide

when I start as a clone
go to starting position
wait until touching player
create clone of myself

Im trying to use 1 sprite. You use a helicopter to pick up the sprite and drop it onto a platform. The problem is,when the helicopter drops the sprite it stays in the air. However, when I try to make the sprite fall,the helicopter flies weirdly.

Probably best if you share what you have so we can focus the help correctly,

The progect im using is a remix of “2D Helicopter Simulator”.

firstly,have variables for the chickens x&y-rpresented by CX and CY respectively

so if i read that correct you need the chicken to carry eggs

when green flag clicked

if =<<touching [chicken v] ?> then
go to x: ((CX) - (whatever you want)) y: (CY)
create clone of [myself v]
end

if <touching [dropoff v] ?> then
change [score v] by (1)
hide
go to [random v]
show
end
[scratchblocks]
when I start as a clone
[scratchblocks]
forever

[scratchblocks]
go to [random position v]
[scratchblocks]
if =<<touching [chicken v] ?> then
go to x: ((CX) - (whatever you want)) y: (CY)
create clone of [myself v]
end
[scratchblocks]
if <touching [dropoff v] ?> then
change [score v] by (1)
hide
go to [random v]
show
end
[/scratchblocks]
end
[/scratchblocks]
 
feel free to make adjustments as i think i have made mistakes
also ignore the random ends and scratchblocks blocks,i hope you still can read it
