This block would detect when a sprite moves

Block Info:
What Would This Block Do?
Make It So that you have an easier time detecting when a sprite moves, and this would be helpful for new scratchers.

What Does This Block Look Like?
Either events or motion, mock ups here are in events, scroll down for mock ups in motion.

When [X Position v] of [Sprite Name v] changes :: hat control
When [Y Position v] of [Sprite Name v] changes :: hat control
When [X and Y Position v] of [Sprite Name v] changes :: hat control
When [Direction v] of [Sprite Name v] changes :: hat control

More options at end of post.

The Sprite Name drop down would have all the sprite names in the project, and a myself.

More Block Options Then Shown:

When [X and Y Position And  Direction v] of [Sprite Name v] changes :: hat control
When [X Position and Direction v] of [Sprite Name v] changes :: hat control
When [Y Position and Direction v] of [Sprite Name v] changes :: hat control

It took some time to write up the BB code for the scratch blocks

What movement would it detect?

Would it detect direction changes, x and y position changes, both, or only one?

Would there be a “myself” option too?

all, i'm changing the OP

Eh, it's possible to workaround but so are some other hat blocks like

when [loudness v] > (10)

and

when [a v] key pressed

Sure, +1

It should be a dropdown, what are you talking about

i made it a proper drop down and tweaked some grammer

Bump

i feel like this would clog up the events section for people who don´t need it perhaps an extension.

When [Sprite Name v] [X Position v] changes :: hat extension

it's only 1 block though. I am just showing everything option the block will have in the OP so people could completely see what the block would do, but in the coding interface it will take only one hat blocks space

ok

An extension for one pretty simple block would be unnecessary. How would adding a single block clog up an already short section?

i think he thought that each block would be listed, not that i was showing each possible option for the block in the op

Oh. That explains it. On a semi-related note, I'd recommend the “X Position and Y” option just be changed to “Position”.

i think im going to change it to X and Y position

Maybe the blocks should be changed to look something like this?

When [myself v]'s [x position v] changes :: hat :: events

You have to say “my”, not “myself”. Like, someone wouldn't say “Give that back! That's myself money!”
