but how would I put a hat block in that code O_O do I put it in a separate one ?

5

Yes, would it be a hat block if it can connect to other scripts above?

6

Ja

7

trying to put a ringified hat block into the code and I cant, so what do I put in the if can move?

8

Whatever moving code you have, the block there is a placeholder

9

yea that’s why I tried to put when (insert arrow) clicked , then movement block but I cant (sorry I’m not so good at understanding)

10

use <key [up arrow V] pressed?> instead

11

OHhh yea! forgot about that ngl

12

could I see your project if you may?

13

not ready yet but I’ve made this so far:

14

no need for all of that, just use tell [sprite V] to ({say[something] for () secs}@>) @:>

15

oh neat

Hit the Space key to access to the sprite
Hit any of left and right arrow keys to move the sprite.

Please make sure that you set the language to English when you post script pics on the forum, as not everyone speaks Korean.

@beliefunwrought: If you didn't know this already, you can easily import "script pics" just by dragging its image into the editor. It will materialize into real blocks like magic. This one is in Korean, but if you import it, it will become English or whatever language preference. Note that if it cannot be dragged or you can't extract blocks from it, then it is probably not a script pic.

I don’t think that’s necessary, because if you know snap very well, you can usually tell what each block is just be looking at the color, type, inputs, and context. If it’s a script pic, you can also just drag and drop the image into snap to get the script and translate it to whatever language you want. They also provided a project link with the scripts, which would also translate it to your language. That’s the beauty of a block based programming language.

Actually sometimes the forum or browser strips metadata, so sometimes dragging doesn’t work. However, if you click on the image and then click the download button, you’ll download the original kmage with the metadata, so you’d be able to drag that file into snap to get the script. If that doesn’t work, then yeah, it might not be a smart script pic. It’s also pretty easy to tell if something is a script pic just by looking at it, because script pics have a transparent background.

A beginner would have way more trouble than you would, based off of this ^^^.
I also don’t see a link.

The project embed. The eye icon in the top right corner takes you to the editor.
