I ask because I've been thinking about making “edits” on scratch. For context, people usually make edits of their favorite character using images or clips of animation, but sometimes I've seen people let the frames spin, glide, or shake. I want to try making projects like this with my own OCs. I've attempted a project with some gliding in it, but I wouldn't call it “edit” quality. Is there a way to make the gliding smoother?

You could use multiple glides

glide (3) secs to x: (0) y: (50)

glide (1) secs to x: (0) y: (55)

glide (0.5) secs to x: (0) y: (58)

This code will make it near smooth gliding.

A really good way to make gliding super smooth

when green flag clicked
forever
change x by (((glidex) - (x position)) / (6))
change y by (((glidey) - (y position)) / (6))
end

Ignore the rest if you dont want the code explained.

Find the difference between our x position, and the one we want to arrive at. Divide it by 6 so its smooth.

your (welcome v)

(ps: you can do this with anything, like rotation. Instead, set it to be

turn cw () degrees

with glidex and glidey as the direction instead of the position, and the

direction

block for the x/y position.
)

Here is a block that I usually use when making intros to make it glide and spin smoothly.

define smooth glide: (x) (y) (dir) (speed)
repeat until <<(round(x position)) = (round (x))> and <<(round(y position)) = (round(y))> and <(round(direction)) = (round(dir))>>>
change x by (((x) - (x position)) / (speed))
change y by (((y) - (y position)) / (speed))
turn cw (((dir) - (direction)) / (speed)) degrees
end
go to x: (x) y: (y)
point in direction (dir)

Please note that to make it go faster, the number for the input “speed” should be lower, and to make it go slower the number should be higher.

Hope this helped!

If you want to make a sprite that guides to your mouse-pointer, here is the script:

when green flag clicked
forever
point towards (mouse-pointer v)::motion
move ((distance to (mouse-pointer v)::sensing) / (4)) steps
end
