Hi,

I'm currently working on a project for a course and I have a maze in which I want my sprite to be reset to its starting position if it touches a wall. All of the walls are blue, so I set the touching color to that blue, however, when I run my code, it does not return to its home position. Below is the link to the project. Please explain to me where I have gone wrong.

EDIT: I was wrong..

Your script to detect never runs because the move block runs with forever so it never starts the next touching color. Put that touching color in the move custom block forever and you'll be set.

The “Move” block you defined contains a forever block so any blocks below the “Move” block won't run.

:: reporter sensing

Basically, remove the forever loop on the move method. Then take the move method and put it inside the main loop.

when green flag clicked
go to x: (-255) y: (-157)
forever
move ::custom
if <touching color (blue)> then
  go to x: (-255) y: (-157)
end
end

Thank You!

Update: I corrected the code according to the suggestions given however it still does not detect touching the blue color.

Please help

Still the color. I just changed it and it worked. It is just a shade off it appears. I didn't touch any code, just the color swatch and it seems to work fine.

Try Tapping on the color block. Then the pointer changes. Click on everywhere in the stage.

<touching color [#ba55ca] ?>

<touching color [#815399] ?>

This is a resolved topic. Please don't necropost. Also, remember to close your scratchblocks

It won't work for me either
