Would have the same effect.

The bounce to angle block works differently, it would bounce to an angle depending from the current direction. Say, your direction is -135 and you're bouncing to angle 180. Your direction would be changed to -45.

Then we have

turn cw () degrees

which would have the same effect.

That's… even worse. I'm not even gonna explain why, just stay like you are if you want.

I really want a block that is JUST like the "if touching edge, bounce" block that is able to work when you touch ANY sprite, to make it simpler for more basic users to have things bounce on each other.

Example:

if touching [sprite v], bounce

or

if touching color [#1b37da], bounce

;

Well, I also want this block because it also helps us a lot.

if <>, bounce :: motion stack

But if it's not touching something, then Scratch can't know what to bounce off of. It's literally impossible to make that block.

If there is nothing, scratch will come ignore it

support

also, these are the blocks i want:

bounce::motion

if <> , bounce::motion

If touching (color), bounce :: motion

time since last bounce::motion reporter

bouncing?::motion boolean

on bounce::motion hat

when [time since last bounce v] > (10)

Just make the sprite flip.

How would the sprite determine which direction it will bounce? What if the sprite where it bounces off to doesn't have a smooth surface? Or that it's a circle, surrounding the bouncing sprite?

Sorry, but no support.

So, you're telling me that there is no physical way in scratch that a ball can bounce off of another ball? Or, for that matter, that NOTHING can bounce off of a ball? Because that's what you're telling me is that there is no way in scratch that it can detect the angle of a surface and use the directions of each object with said angle to change one of the objects directions.

No.

I'm telling you Scratch can't determine how a sprite bounces off, say, a sprite that is completely surrounding it, and touching it from every direction?

Wow, I can't even properly explain…

Sorry, but I think someone knows these stuff better than me, and can inform you why your suggestion can't happen.

Omg this is a perfectly good suggestion…
I am sure, using simple mathematics, scratch will be able to figure that out. Scratch is made in python…

if <>, bounce::motion

would be better imo, you would be able to insert a touching edge, and literally any other boolean

But if the only conditions where it can bounce are if it's touching a sprite or color, why make it so that you can insert any boolean? Just make it a dropdown with touching sprite and touching color options, in addition to the existing touching edge option.

Bounce off of what? If you want to turn the sprite around, then just turn 180 degrees either clockwise or counterclockwise.

cake__5 wrote:

if <> , bounce::motion

See above point about this

cake__5 wrote:

If touching (#0000FF), bounce :: motion

That's possible to make, but it might be a little slow due to the nature of the color sensing blocks

cake__5 wrote:

time since last bounce::motion reporter

Can be replicated with a reset timer block after a bounce block

if on edge, bounce
reset timer

cake__5 wrote:

bouncing?::motion boolean

Pointless- all the “bounce” does now is change the direction of the sprite. It does not move forwards, or do anything other than change the direction of the sprite.

cake__5 wrote:

on bounce::motion hat

Again, all the existing block does is change the direction of the sprite, in a way that makes it “bounce” off the edge at the angle it was. It does not move the sprite in any way, or do anything more than that. This block can be replicated by simply placing blocks underneath a bounce block.

if on edge, bounce
...

cake__5 wrote:

when [time since last bounce v] > (10)

Bouncing isn't special. Reset the timer immediately after you bounce (see above), and you can use the existing block to do this. This is an easy enough workaround- it's literally one block- that I don't think it would be worth implementing.

“This is the If touching edge, bounce block, and it is bugged. (uses a change x block instead of a move steps block) See?”

this hardly even counts as a workaround. This is literally just a block. we don't need a designated flip or turn 180* block because that already exists
