Hey everyone, I was wondering how I would be able to go to the next backdrop if a sprite touched it… I was looking at it early getting alot of it done until I found that there was no next backdrop and Sprite scripts!


Please help!

say [Hi! I'm Mr. Block! I protect this signature from any nasties :)] for (forever) secs

I'll try to help.

From what I know there's 2 ways you could do this:

1. Using the if touching edge operator (Easiest)
2. Making a separate sprite that outlines the edge (Not hard but less easy)

1.

<touching [edge v] ?>

For this one you need to make it so that whenever the sprite touches the edge it will broadcast a message to the stage where the backdrops are and switch to the next backdrop.

If you still can't do it, tell me. I'll put some scratchblocks down.

I think I might've found a slight flaw. If you're using the

go to [mouse pointer v]

for the sprite it might cycle through the backdrops super fast until you move it away from the edge.

Thanks so much!

I think that will work!

The main reason was because I couldn't go to next backdrop, but the broadcasting is a good idea!

Again, thank you alot!

You're welcome. If you didn't want to do the broadcasting thing you could've done this. All the backdrops' names would have to be numbered though (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

when [space v] key pressed
switch backdrop to ((backdrop name) + (1))

But you'd replace the “when space key pressed” with “touching edge” and all that. Anyways good luck on your thing.

adding on to what @Sinaboo said, you could also either move the sprite that touches the edge back to the middle:

go to x: (0) y: (0)

or you could use this block to make it wait until it's not touching the edge:

wait until <not <touching [edge v] ?>>

if that seems a bit too complex I could go step by step if you would like

(also I was talking about how to get rid of the problem of it cycling through backgrounds really quickly)

really its impossible iv'e searched it up on google and nothing worked and iv'e done it like 1,000,000 times

What I did was:

Make a sprite that is a sliver of the edge of the screen, and I put this:

when green flag clicked
repeat until <(backdrop #) = [2]>
if <touching color [#000000] ?> then
broadcast [ message1]
end

And for the backdrops i put
when I receive [ message1]
next backdrop

And then for the player i put
when backdrop switches to [ backdrop2]
go to x: (0) y: (0)

when green flag clicked
change [ dead bodies] by (32)
forever
say [Vlad the impaler is coming for you] for (20) secs
end

Dont mind the red pieces. Theyre supposed to not be scratchblocks

when green flag clicked
change [ dead bodies] by (32)
forever
say [Vlad the impaler is coming for you] for (20) secs
end

here's an idea (I don't know how these block code things work so I hope this works) ((Edit: OMG IT WORKED))

when green flag clicked
forever
if <touching [edge v] ?> then
next backdrop
end
end

maybe add

wait (1) secs

so that the sprite has time to move before it activates the background changing thing again

Flaws to that, here's how to properly do it.

when green flag clicked
forever
if <touching [edge v] ?> then
next backdrop
go to x: [spawn position here] y: [ground position]:: motion
end
end

Or, if you don't want it to reset to a position, just use this:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <touching [edge v] ?> then
next backdrop
wait until <not <touching [edge v]?>>
end
end

It will only change the backdrop once until you remove it from the edge.

Then you'd spawn near the edge. Maybe this:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <touching [edge v] ?> then
next backdrop
wait until <not <touching [edge v]?>>
end
set x to ()
end
