SORRY IF THIS IS WRONG FORUM

Like how to do screen shake. My friend told me in a forum post but I can't find it.

This belongs in Help With Scripts.

Not really, it's not asking help about a specific script.

What do you mean by screen shake? If you're talking about something that shakes all the sprites on the screen, just make this custom block:

When the variable Shake? is 1, the position block will position the sprite accordingly.
So setup before the shake:

In order to actually shake the screen, there are multiple scripts, but I don't know any except this:

So you'd do this script in order to shake the screen:

Note that every sprite must have the position for screenshake block in a forever loop for the entire screen to shake.

I like the explanation! But what is “Cam Z,” and how is it used?

In 2D Z position is used as rotation

Cam Z is the variable used for zooming in and out. If you want your screen shake to zoom in or out, use that block.

Then why in spaceflight sim it was rotated when I set the z

No idea. The variable that controls the camera's direction was called Z.

It didn't work. I tested it here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/853141503

Then try this:

simple and it works

I use this alot
(all of the sprites need to have this block though)
(the stage has to be a sprite if you want to shake it)

The “Cam Z” variable appears to control the zooming. You just didn't put a (set size to (cam z)%) block.

That was an error on my part, I forgot to mention that you had to reset the Cam X and Cam Y values.

That method, while it does work, is inefficient. With my method, the sprites only need to have the position block. Only one sprite has to have the actual shake code, and when it runs all the sprites with position blocks will shake in a fashion that looks like the entire screen is shaking.

Its a simple shake code

My method is rng based
and the proof that it can shake the background (its a sprite)
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/853184644/

and broadcasts are used for indefinite shaking

While you are correct that you can make the background shake, you have made a major mistake: You've made an earthquake, not a screen shake.
Confused? Allow me to explain.

The words “screen shake” imply that rather than everything on the screen moving, the screen itself is moving. Thus, when the screen moves in a certain direction, everything on it will move the same way:



However, your shake method has every sprite shaking independently of each other. This means that the sprites will do this:



Thus, that would not be the screen shaking. You rmethod would be California.

My screen shake method works because it accounts for similar sprite movement: you only need to input the shake code in one sprite, and all sprites with the position block will shake the same way. It'll look like the screen is shaking.

That's because, my method utilises something called Cam control, otherwise known as:


That was not as dramatic as I thought it would be

Anyway, thanks to coming to my TED talk of why you should use my method instead of the other person's. Please collect your free barrels of bhindi ki subgi at the door.
