Changing Width and Height Separately

Priff

I would LOVE this if scratch implemented it. Mostly for animations tho.

Example of squashing and stretching sprites vertically:

clear
set y to ()
set [number of costumes] to []
whatever
change [scrollY] by ()
end
define whatever
repeat (number of costumes)
stamp
change y by (scrollY)
next costume
end
You can use this to squash and stretch sprites horizontally, but it requires changing some blocks and may require splitting the image into more costumes.

Hope this helps

P.S. When defining the my block, set the block to run without screen refresh

Yeah, that would melt my brain if i had to do that, and it would take like 5 hours just to do a single, tiny, animation, and because of my short attention span, so that is impossible for me, so no.

Support. I don't know what will I do with it, but it will be cool!

Semi-No Support.

This COULD help but at the same time, there's an easy workaround to this.

mostly inactive!!

to add on to my support comment i support because I've been on scratch for almost a year and i still don't know how to stretch things and even if it does have a workaround the workaround isn't new scratcher friendly

Making a bunch of costumes that you stretch out.

Well that was embarrassing… I just made a post exactly like this. I support!

This would really help with things like avatar makers!

It could be pretty useful.

Definite support for these blocks:

change [horizontal v] stretch by (10)::looks

change [vertical v] stretch by (10)::looks

set [horizontal v] stretch to (100)%::looks

set [vertical v] stretch to (100)%::looks

And i wanted to say, horizontal stretch used to exist in a pretty old prototype, it worked well, and it was pretty smooth and cool. So support for these, as they are useful and cool. Oh, and sometimes, in a game, you might need to do that effect. But what if the gamemaker isn't so good at animating it frame-to-frame, and there are other costumes? Support for those

Not-so-definite but still support for these blocks

([horizontal v] stretch::looks)

([vertical v] stretch::looks)

which, of course, would lead to these:

([horizontal stretch v] of [Sprite v])

([vertical stretch v] of [Sprite v])

I mean- these wouldn't be used much (at least by me) but since we have size reporters… yeah we should have reporters for stretch as well.

BUT NO SUPPORT for this:

set stretch to x:(200) y:(-180)::looks

I remember a block pretty similar to this in the first ever prototype, Scratch 0.1, and it is just too confusing, even for me Scratching for 2 years. Imagine a new coder with that block.

Scratch took the original one away since it was laggy. Either way, you could make a bunch of costumes and stretch them. I don't see a use for this.

Invalid, because what if you wanted to smoothly transition between them?

Exactly.

This is an account that exists.

Here's an improvement

[Vertical v] Stretch ::looks reporter
[Horizontal v] Stretch ::looks reporter

(I'm honestly not sure about the exact supporter count, but when I supported this a long time ago, I seem to remember the same number – don't take my word on this, though.)

It's very likely we have hit a new supporters threshold, I haven't taken a new tally yet!

Edit: Yep, we've hit 93 Full Support and 5 Semi-Support, which I calculate to be 95.5 support points total!

These types of workarounds are fantastic, and I'm glad that members of the Scratch community has taken the time to figure these out, but I still believe there is a need for simple and easy-to-use blocks that younger and/or newer users understand.

Thanks for pointing out this specific workaround, however! Viewers of this thread will be able to see and use it as they wish.

This used to be a block in the March 2005 beta, and then they removed it. BUT WHY THO?

change stretch by (10) % :: #ff2400

And the Support block says…
Support!

Support: :)

Remember,

is for Support,

is for no Support, and

is for semi-support.
*And yes, the color of the stretch is NOT an error, it's the actual color the “looks” section was in the release*

Fact of the week:
The idea of a “beep” block dates all the way back to Logo Blocks.
