Copy/Paste Posts
A place to store common replies when forum helping. I often find questions I already answered and I want to quickly post my previous reply. This is probably going to be just for me, but if you're fine with using somebody else's words, anybody else can use these too.

Undo and redo
When somebody asks how to undo and redo. This explains how to undo and redo every possible action.
Here's where you can find buttons to undo and redo different things:
Right click anywhere in the code and select undo and redo to undo and redo changes to your code. Or if you like keyboard shortcuts, use ctrl+z for undo and ctrl+shift+z for redo.

Costumes and sounds have these arrow-like buttons that you click to undo and redo changes to a certain costume or sound

[img]http://u.cubeupload.com/Hedgehog_Blue/undoSound.png[/img]

If you delete entire costumes, sounds, or sprites, you can find a restore option (which undoes the deletion) in the edit menu

Cloud lists rejection
When people suggest cloud lists, this explains the reasons for rejection and alternatives to still get the desired functionality.
They rejected this idea because there would be much more difficulty making sure people use cloud lists for safe uses that the scratch team can moderate.

If you want cloud lists, you can convert your lists into a string of numbers and put it into a cloud variable, then convert it back (just watch out, cloud variables can only store 256 digits of data, which you can get to quickly if you're converting a list).

You can learn to make an encoder or get help, using [url=https://scratch.mit.edu/search/projects?q=cloud%20list%20tutorial]tutorials on scratch[/url] or [url=https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Encoding_and_Decoding_Cloud_Data]the scratch wiki[/url] or [url=https://scratch.mit.edu/search/projects?q=cloud+list]search for projects that have already coded it for you[/url].

Change username rejection
When somebody suggests changing usernames.
Sorry, this suggestion was rejected by the scratch team, because having a different name could be confusing, it would need to work with links to your profile and difficult to make it work with the moderation system. Sometimes the scratch team will accept specific requests, when somebody has a problem with their username, like saying their real name, and want to fix the issue, but just not liking it isn't going to work.

If you want a new name for your account, you'll need to create a new account.

Asking about changing usernames
Similar to above, but for questions asking if it is possible or how to change it.
This isn't possible, except in very specific situations. Sometimes the scratch team will accept specific requests, when somebody has a problem with their username, like saying their real name, and want to fix the issue, but just not liking it isn't going to work.

If you want a new name for your account, you'll need to create a new account.

Detecting the stop sign is clicked
When somebody wants to know how to detect the project being stopped. Also can be used when somebody suggests a when <> block, and they specifically want it to be able to run when the project is stopped.
To detect the project being stopped, use the when timer > [ ... []] block.
[scratchblocks]
when green flag clicked
forever
set [last time project was running v] to (timer) //create a variable that stores the last time the project was running
end
when [timer v] > ((last time the project was running) + (0.1)) //when the project is stopped, it sets off this script
... //this is whatever you want to do when the project is stopped
when [timer v] > ((last time the project was running) + (0.1)) //and this script just keeps checking if the project is stopped again.
forever
set [last time project was running v] to (timer)
end
[/scratchblocks]

Costume not centered
When somebody is confused about the position their sprite goes to, due to the costume centering.
Only one point of a costume can actually be at certain coordinates. There is a plus-looking thing in the middle of the costume editor that marks that spot.
[img]http://u.cubeupload.com/Hedgehog_Blue/452ScreenShot20200510at.png[/img]

So if you draw a costume where the plus is far away from the art, then that empty area will be at the correct coordinates and your actual art won't be.
[img]http://u.cubeupload.com/Hedgehog_Blue/ScreenShot20200510at.png[/img]
Here's how it looks on the stage:
[img]http://u.cubeupload.com/Hedgehog_Blue/669ScreenShot20200510at.png[/img]

So next time you draw a costume, draw it around the center so when it goes to a position the sprite's coordinates are actually nearby the art, or select all of your sprite and move it over.
[img]http://u.cubeupload.com/Hedgehog_Blue/7ceScreenShot20200510at.png[/img]
Now your costume is set so that the middle of the art will be at the correct coordinates, which you probably want.

I'm always a fan of your projects, and it's cool that you're still continuing BlueOS ~ I remember the version which you shared a while back, it's honestly the best OS on scratch and definitely will be if it's reshared once it's completed

I had to post this:

Two of my projects have the exact same number of loves and favorites!
Interestingly, they're very different in views and comments.

Updates

First, I just made a few changes to this topic, adding resources (useful things to use in projects) and copy/paste posts (for quickly replying to common questions when helping in the forums).

Second, I have a new project.

Global Button
It's a smaller project, but it's something.

Oh. So I'm pretty out of luck. I don't make games, no platformers.

Maybe not. I need to update that, because the type of projects on trending change often.

Hey, just wondering if you can maybe do a tutorial on advanced UI/pen? You're clearly very experienced, so I expect a lot of people will benefit if you make a tutorial.
I already left this idea on your profile, but you're likely getting flooded with messages, so I doubt you'll see it there.
