This sticky is in the process of transferring ownership. Changes coming soon

Extended from:
4th Directory, which was derived from the
3rd Directory, which was derived from the
2nd Directory
3rd Directory permission

In the process of changing ownership!

Get Ready for some new Q/As all about a variety of topics that are commonly asked, including
The 4.0 update, AI in scratch, coding help, along with links to more topics that answer common questions such as how to use the scratch forums, scratch bugs, and others!
(All Q/As about topics such as 4.0 and AI will be based solely off of current, official info with links to where everything is found)


DON'T POST YOUR ISSUES HERE. MAKE A NEW TOPIC FOR IT because it will get a lot more attention if you make your own topic about it.

Welcome to the fifth HwS Q&A directory, a directory related to useful topics in HwS.

NEW Q/As by @zbsmobile
4.0 (To the extent appropriate to the HWS forum)
This is just a small bit of relevant info (7/9/26) Links coming soon

As of now, Scratch is still planning to add AI to scratch. But this will ONLY serve in a possible few roles: Music Development and Debugging. If you don't like this, don't say so here. I can't help you. Go complain somewhere else ;)

With every other scratch platform update, we've seen new blocks, so get ready! (Highly likely)

This forum will NOT be changing at all with 4.0 (as of now)

And yeah, that's about it. Not much else affects this :D

Coding Help
(7/9/26)


You can receive help here in the HWS forum by starting a New Topic. Do NOT post your coding troubles here. Other places to recieve help can be seen at my other sticky.

The 5th Script Help Q+A Directory

Programming questions:
Script for background transitions!
Use this script (thanks, @tajibear13!):
when green flag clicked
show
go to x: (0) y: (0)
go to [front v] layer
set [glide v] to [1]
switch costume to (zoom v)
set size to (31) %
repeat (50)
switch costume to (small v)
change size by (glide)
change [glide v] by (1)
switch costume to (zoom v)

end
How to make the pen down only when in specific x and y positions?
Use this script (thanks, @Scratch-Minion!):
forever
pen up
go to [mouse pointer v]
if <<(x position) = [-1]> or <<(x position) = [0]> or <(x position) = [1]>>> then
pen down
end
end

Scratchblocks questions:
How do you make the arrow that you can see in Scratchblocks dislay in forum posts (your own blocks, not the existing ones)?
Use @turnLeft (counterclockwise), @turnRight (clockwise), or @loopArrow (seen in repeat and forever blocks). For example:
I will turn @turnLeft (0.21) turns!::motion
I will turn @turnRight (0.18) turns!::motion
I will loop this script above (4) times! @loopArrow::control
(Please note that the @loopArrow will always come at the end of a block.)

Yea. I will in a day or two. I'll get rid of the report stuff and rename it now. Are you reporting to transfer sticky ship or should I?

Hey! This forum doesn't actually cover 3d. Crazy, right! For all questions about 3d and other “advanced topics”, go here and make a new topic
