Scripts not working? :(

NataLatte

Hey guys, so I made this project ( http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/14771746/#editor ) and in the project there is a pillow sprite (Sprite40) you can get from a store. Once you go to your home and select it from your items, a broadcast is sent out (SHOWpillow) and a variable is set to 1 (pillowS). So the problem is, there are a couple scripts that are-

when green flag clicked

forever
    
if <(place) = [other]> then
    
hide
end
end

“other” being a place other than “home” or “shop”. (these are already values of the variable) But the thing is, these scripts don't work for some reason. They're glowing, so they should be working. I don't know why they're not. It's probably some stupid reason, so forgive me >^<' Also while you're checking it out if you can, feel free to play my game so far XD
Thanks~

Oh, I think there is some kind of bug with the “hide” block…

You could try just setting its ghost effect to 100, except that is not the same as hiding, because it can still be detected by other sprites…. Hmmm…..

Do you mean it's not showing up, or not hiding?

You need to remove the FOREVER loops out of your sprite40 WHEN I RECEIVE SHOWPillow.

I think the computer might not know what “other” means. To it, “other” is just a string of letters.

You need to script it more like this:

<not <(place) = [home]>>

Hope this helped! You might also want to make it so when the place isn't set to “home” or “shop,” it sets it to “other.”

Thanks for the ride, Scratch Team and community! Unfortunately, the time has come for me to move on from Scratch, so I'll no longer be using the forums. Thanks again, and farewell!

Oh yeah, I understand that. Other is just a value of the variable. Although maybe you're right that the computer doesn't understand it. I'll try that out! Thanks for your help

Thanks for your help! I solved it ~

turns out I didn't need to completely remove it, but I did need to move them around a bit.

Still, thanks for letting me know that I needed to mess around with them. Happy holidays btw~!
