I'm currently making an like randomized movement for a game i'm making but when I try to make it move the full amount of steps (which is about 7), it goes ahead and changes what direction it moves. How do I make it so that it does the full amount of steps before it makes another?



The code I did if I didn't explain it well enough.

when green flag clicked
forever
set [randomized movement v] to (pick random (1) to (2))
if <[randomized movement] = [1]> then
point in direction (90 v)
move (pick random (1) to (7)) steps
if <[randomized movement] = [2]> then
point in direction (-90 v)
move (pick random (1) to (7)) steps
end
end
end

Your current code (assuming the second if statement is outside the first one) currently either picks left or right (90 or -90) and moves 1 to 7 steps in that direction before re randomizing. Instead, have the move X steps inside a repeat block like this:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(pick random (1) to (2)) = [2]> then 
point in direction (90 v)
repeat (pick random (1) to (7))
move (1) steps
end
else
point in direction (-90 v)
repeat (pick random (1) to (7))
move (1) steps
end
end
wait (0.5) secs
end

Wait block is so you can observe its movement frequency
