I think we should have a “Shake screen” block

Like this :

Shake, secs: () strength: ()

The strength is how strong the screen shaking would be
And the secs is how long it would last

MORE SPECIFIC:
It would shake both x and y position of the screen
It shakes all sprites and probably even the backdrop
Strength is how much it shake from the original x and y positions
IF NEEDED: It can be stopped with

 Stop shaking 

Uses (i think):
Audio visualizer
EXPLOSIONS!!!
Loud noise
BEING TRIGGERED\
Earthquake maybe
Huge drops (animation or parkour game)
the rest is…tell me what you think it's useful for?

No support

However, I did make an engine that will allow you to use this concept in your projects.

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/148605323/

when green flag clicked
shake, mili secs: (100) strength: (10) :: custom

define shake, mili secs: (time) strength: (strength)
set [_strength v] to (strength)
set [_time v] to (time)
broadcast [_shake v]

when I receive [_shake v]
nitrocipher ::custom-arg
set [_in_x v] to (x position)
set [_in_y v] to (y position)
set [_in_strength v] to (_strength)
set [_i v] to [0]
repeat (_time) 
  change [_i v] by (1)
  change x by ((_in_strength) * (2))
  wait (0) secs
  change x by ((_in_strength) * (-2))
  set [_in_strength v] to ((_strength) - (((_strength) / (_time)) * (_i)))
end
go to x: (_in_x) y: (_in_y)

You can just copy the code from the project into your backpack, just be sure to give me credit!

Current project: [s3Blocks: scratchblocks rewritten for Scratch 3.0] ::#4b4a60 //https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/290031/ Basically done!

eh, it could be easily recreated

Although the workaround is lengthy, I feel that this block is too specific for use, yet at the same time ambiguous as to how it would work. Would it shake the stage? Only the sprites? Everything? Only the sprite that it's in?

fixed that for you (milliseconds not mili seconds )

Are you meant to be setting the strength to the time and the time to the strength?

I'm assuming that the entire screen will be shaken. I'm indifferent.

I think it's a good idea, but it is not very exact and as other Scratchers said, What would it shake? Also, it can rotate in a series to mimic shaking more specifically such as (you can repeat this how ever many times you want, of course):

turn cw (5) degrees
turn ccw (5) degrees
turn cw (5) degrees
turn ccw (5) degrees

Everything of course!

You're allowed to say “No support”. He was just stating whether or not he supported.

Anyway, no support since it's just too specific. It could rarely be used.

No Oh shoot, yep i has wrong, i just fixed the code.

I have to agree with jromagnoli. As a block, this feels too specific for use, and too confusing to implement. I guarantee you that it will also cause lag. It makes more sense to import scripts into your game to accommodate screen shaking. Besides, some people might get dizzy. I dunno, some people have seizures from flashing lights….

No support.

I agree that this block is way too specific. During my time on Scratch, I have never encountered a time when this block would have been useful. Sorry, but this block should not be created. You can easily recreate it though.

when I receive [ Shake v]
repeat (50)
go to original position
point in direction (90 v)
change x by (pick random (5) to (Strength))
change y by (pick random (5) to (Strength))
turn cw (pick random (5) to (Strength)) degrees
wait (0.1) secs
end

Just put this in every sprite and let the fun begin!

Ok, let's think about how many times you would use this block. Ever. Me? None. Perhaps this could be an effect?

change [Shake v] effect by (25)

The number is how much it shakes and it only activates when activated. So eg:

repeat (100)
change [Shake v] effect by (25)
end

Edit: I realise there's lots of things wrong with this, it's just a concept. But I don't support

It's called epilepsy.

Shaky screens are disorientating and give some people seizures.

This is subjective, plus, it doesn't have to be a big shake. To not support because of that seems a bit… petty.

Just my opinion!

Good job editing out the important part of the post. I think seizures are a valid point, although there are probably other things you can do now that are more likely to cause them.

If this is true, people would have already had them due to the number of *MLG* games on Scratch.

Well, color effect and flashy lights could give people epilepsy seizures, so why should we make another block that could do stuff like that? Maybe you have never experienced having/seeing a seizure, and let me tell you it's not nice. I feel that people would just use shaking to annoy or trick people in projects.
