How to I make a sprite glide around randomly?

crazydoglady31

I want to make it where a bunch of sprites are just floating around randomly. (like in the game slither) How can I make that script?

ELevell

Try something like this:

forever
glide (1) secs to x: (pick random (-240) to (240)) y: (pick random (180) to (-180))
end

Let me know if this helps!

Spelling is
chalanging
difucult
hard.

What do you mean by floating around randomly. What I'm thinking of does not happen in slither.io.

If that's what you mean, you should also have a pick random .5 to 3 in the secs to make it more random.

I used to be active on the forums, but I have mostly moved past Scratch. I still do check my Scratch messages, so if you'd like to talk to me, just leave a comment on my profile. My main project on Scratch was Cookie Clicker, but my newest project is Snake Snake, a game based off of Snake, but with two snakes, and you can play either singleplayer or multiplayer.

This is the same thing, but the sprite will always move the same speed, I think.

forever
set [x] to (pick random (-240) to (240))
set [y] to (pick random (-180) to (180))
glide ((Something) * ([sqrt] of (([square] of ((x) - (y))) + ([square] of ((x position) - (y position)))))) secs to x: (x) y: (y)
end

Last part was cut off, it should be:
y: y(the variable)
The something should be a number you play around with to get the speed you want.
Hope I helped!

There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who know binary and those who don't. “And those who think they do but are still waiting on 8 more people.” (Sigton).

Nice work! Which script did you use?

chalanging

when green flag clicked
forever
go to x: (pick random () to (10)) y: ((pick random () to (10))
end

This would make the sprite move all over the place randomly, not gliding there.

i dont know for sure how to fix that but its ok

If you want it to bounce around, use this script:

when green flag clicked
point in direction (pick random (-90) to (270))
go to x: (0) y: (0)
set rotation style [don't rotate]
forever
move (10) steps
if on edge, bounce
end

Otherwise, If you want it to glide around do what ELevell said:
