I am currently converting some of my older projects for use with mobile devices using control sprites. Unfortunately, I have to use the

When this sprite clicked

scratchblock.

I would prefer to have a boolean like this.

<When [jump sprite v] clicked :: sensing>

OR this

<[something v] is touching [something v]::sensing>

This way, I can easily add it to my current platforming script, without having to do some shabby workmanship thrown together in 10 minutes (It's my style.)

Plz supprot.

<<touching [mouse-pointer v] ?> and <mouse down?>>

Wouldn't that work the same?

Oh, um…….

That wouldn't work because I have my platforming script all on my character sprite. This boolean would be useful because it can sense other sprites being touched, and then use it as an input. Otherwise, I could use a when I receive boolean, but that's been rejected.

Workaround:

if <<touching [mouse pointer v] ?> and <mouse down?>> then //sprite 1
broadcast [clicked v]
end

when I receive [clicked v] //sprite 2
...

Yeah, but my platforming script is all in one. If I were to use broadcasts, it would have to be a boolean. (Which is rejected)

when green flag clicked
forever
if<<touching [mouse pointer v]> and <mouse down?>> then
broadcast [right clicked]


when green flag clicked
...
if <<key [right arrow v] pressed> or <when I receive [right clicked v]>>then
...

My suggestion makes it much simpler

when green flag clicked
...
if <<key [right arrow v] pressed> or <when [move right v] clicked ::sensing>> then
...

Oh, so you want a boolean that allows for you to tell when any sprite is clicked…

In that case, support. I guess it's workaroundable this way, but it's extremely tedious.

if <<mouse down?> and <>> then
broadcast [message1 v]
end
when gf clicked
set [clicked? v] to [0]
when I receive [message1 v]
set [clicked? v] to [1]
when gf clicked
...
if <(clicked?) = [1]> then
...
set [clicked? v]

Maybe we should have a <[… v] is touching [… v]?> block. This would make your specific case more difficult for than your suggestion, but it is a more general and versatile block.

<[something v] is touching [something v] ::sensing>

This could work!

when green flag clicked
...
if <<[mouse v] is touching [left sprite v] ::sensing> and <mouse down?>> then
...

No support.

2 ways:
You can use some math to detect if mouse is touching button.

Second way:
Have a hidden mouse following spriteAnd have a variavlle to check what it is on.
Like mouse is on > exit
>play
>0//shows nothing.
And use that var in script.

Could you tell me why you don't support?

If you have a good idea of what major color your two sprites are, you can use the

<color [#d3bcad] is touching [#55b350] ?>

block, but otherwise support for OP reasons.

That doesn’t work because the first color represents part of the sprite that is executing the block, not just any sprite. If you would like to take a look at the wiki article, you can find it here.

Plz supprot.

Workarounds:
In Jump Sprite:

when this sprite clicked
broadcast [send1 v]

In other sprite:

when I receive [send1 v]
...

or
In Jump Sprite:

if <touching [other sprite v]> then
broadcast [send1 v]
end

In other sprite:

when I receive [send1 v]
...
