When space pressed
say pick random between 1 and 5 for 1 secs
if pick random between 1 and 5 = 5
Say <Something>

I want it so “say pick random between 1 and 5 for 1 secs” doesn't pop up, it's just invisible…

Can you share your project?

If you don't want it to show up, why are you SAYing it? Are you just trying to cause a WAIT <1>

I now see your project. What you want to do is

delete your first SAY

make a variable called RANDOM

Set RANDOM to PICK RANDOM 1 to 5

Use the variable RANDOM in all your remaining IFs, instead if PICK RANDOM.


What can happen if PICK RANDOM on the 1st IF returns 5, it won't SAY anything.
By the time it gets to the 5th IF, that PICK RANDOM probably won't return 5, so it won;t SAY anything.

This one http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/11799326/

I like your project idea, NZombeh!

scubajerry is correct that you will want to do the random number once, and put that number in a variable. Then do all the IF checks against that variable. Otherwise you are picking a new random number every time.


Just for fun, I added a remix, for when you are ready to move on to Lists. (edit: oops, looks like it didn't save!)

If his project has saved, it would have had a LIST maybe name COMPLIMENTS.
You would add each of your compliments to the list.

Then you do what the next post says. It is much better than mine.

Then you SAY< ITEM (PICK RANDOM 1 to LENGTH OF LIST COMPLIMENTS)>

Yup. (Even simpler for picking a random item from a list, though… Say: Item (random) from (Compliments)


(Turns out it did save, I just had to share! lol)

That may seem impossible to the New Scratchers, but its really not. So, NZombeh, just make a variable called “random” and make a list called “compliments” and have it so "When pressed“ ”set to ((pick random ( ) through ( )“ and finnaly put this block ”say [item ((random)) of for ( ) secs" (of course you will have to add some compliments into the list)
