How do I stop the sprite from moving?

squirrel719

Hello, is there any way to stop the sprite from moving, a block like;

If Spacebar key pressed,
Freeze sprite1

Sonickyle

if <(Freezed) = [0]> then
    ...
end

Assuming you have a motion loop something like on the sprite,

when green flag clicked
forever
    move (2) steps
   if on edge, bounce
end

then, this might do the trick, without needing a variable

when [space v] key pressed
stop [other scripts in sprite v]

That is a great question but you will soon see that having infinite loops aren't always the way to go so you can do this instead:

when green flag clicked
repeat until <key [space v] pressed?>
    move (10) steps
    if on edge, bounce
end

This is a lot more complex, not suggested

digthebone

when green flag clicked
repeat (how much times you want it to repeat)
move (how much steps you want it to step) steps
    
end
stop [this script v]

hopefully that hlped!

and always remember

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <got help from digthebone> then
    
know he is awesome
end
end

If you want the sprite to be able to move once you release the spacebar, you will need a forever loop. Like so…

when green flag clicked
forever
if <not <key [space v] pressed?>> then 
move (10) steps
turn cw (15) degrees
end
