@notjaldolfyt cool
its 12 am at night plz help I cant sleep

@dreamsmp_luck There’s going to be a lot of stuff in it

@tng just happened to me, might be due to like rate limiting

@tng This is actually good evidence!

@tng

The progress bar is not “following”. It is just staying at the same position in the stage, regardless of where your sprite is or where the viewport is.

If you want the progress bar to stay with the tree, there are some other options. For example, you can add additional costumes of the tree, all with the same tree, but with an additional progress bar on top of it at different percentages. So you can change the tree’s costume in your code.

Or you can create a new sprite that’s just the progress bar at different percentages, and then move that sprite above the tree. It will stay with the tree when you move the viewport.

And another option is still use the progress bar widget, but change its position when you move the main sprite. You will need to calculate the position of the tree relative to your sprite, and calculate the position of the progress bar using that relative position.

@dreamsmp_luck It’s too confusing. I really tried, but it js bugs

@tng

The lists need to be global to be viewed on the stage. But whether it should be global or private to each clone depends on what you are trying to do. Sounds like you want to track the position of each clone, then it should be private. In that case, your code is correct, just the way you are trying to view its content is not going to work.

@tng

The block has been removed. Now you can only set speeds, not position.

@tng

maybe this is what you are looking for?

@tng I love that photo lol

@dreamsmp_luck I would love a 3d costume editor. makes my life so much easier without having to deal with about 1000 blocks related to making a plane.

@tng

Can you share an example program or project? thank you

@tng

Can you please share the project link?

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Eyy welcome back! It’s been a while, and I (as you can notice) have been kind of struggling keeping everything in order 😞

@dreamsmp_luck Fixed it

@the_true_odst

Got it. We’ll check why it happens on chromebooks.

@the_true_odst left click is always used to highlight, left click is the primary function for your mouse (mouse button 1 in the system) and interacting with your costumes is your main intent, and right click is secondary (mouse button 2) so its for moving around wtih is a lesser but still big intent

@info-creaticode I think their intent is what projects do with a sort of thumbnail, it’s purpose (as far as I know) is to not make the project look “ugly” when you stop it mid way due to clones disappearing, projects do this via having a sprite always ontop that when the green flag is pressed, sets its ghost effect to 100, whenever the stop sign is pressed all visual effects disable, so when they press the stop sign the ghost effect goes to 0 and it shows the sort of thumbnail, this would be for effectively doing that, though my example provides a valid reason for this to be another method of gracefully stopping a cloud based project where flat out stopping it could result in other sessions being made worse

@info-creaticode It’s not there anymore, I changed it from a clone to the actual sprite since I couldn’t figure out the bug.

@the_true_odst make it so if they touch it they say something or use print to console. This is how most programmers (allegedly people using languages other than JS dont do this but I still doubt that) debug stuff, you add a bunch of prints to ensure what is broken, like is it the touching detection or the cursor, you dont know becuase if one doesn’t work, the other won’t (if touching doesnt work then the cursor will never change, if the cursor changing doesnt work you wouldn’t know becuase the touching would be trying to use something that’s broken)

@info-creaticode That sounds good!

I added some sounds when you upgrade. Nifty little feature.

@the_true_odst

The code should work. Can you provide a project link where it doesn’t work for you? And what do you mean by “doesn’t work”?

@The_True_Odst I struggled to understand what you meant at first, but after some re-reading, I can help. So I understand you want to be able to find the decimal number AT any decimal place of any decimal number reliably.
So, decimal places go like
0.0001
(whole number).tenths,hundredths,thousandths,ten-thousandths, hundred-thousandths, millions, etc.

So we know the bold in 0.0001 is thousandths, but we need a program to do that.
We’ll just be saying the number of its place instead, like that’s the third decimal place here (3).

So we need to clean up the number by making it positive (incase its negative), and only focusing on the part after the decimal point, then returning the decimal place based on another input.

Make a reporter custom block with two inputs then put this code into it:
64b4716e-d974-4486-abbb-ae682fd1def9-image.png

It should report the number that exists at a decimal place. So in 0.128456, if you wanted to know the number that resides at thousandths place (3), then you’d do (return decimal place (3) of decimal number (0.128456)) and it would report “8”.

@the_true_odst Ok

@the_true_odst said in New block: Round by {number}:

What about a new block?

Well, it will be a bit confusing with 2 “round” blocks. Also, as shown, it is fairly easy to work around it, right?

d4dae5fa-1610-4f0c-8835-f3cd3c7069af-image.png

@the_true_odst

Another way is to scale it up by 100, round to integers (so get rid of the tiny noise value), then divide it by 100:

b83d4c75-c4be-427c-9a71-a46c1565016d-image.png

@the_true_odst

Unfortunately, we are using the NodeBB project for this forum, which does not support such customized notifications. There are some settings you can change in your own setting page.

@the_true_odst you use the intended and actual as a back bone, for the gravity you just set the intended x and intended y values at the changing, your gravity was mainly change y by 2 every frame and then change y by negative 2 to go down (from what I remember), you can set the intended y speed to 2 every frame (you dont need to every frame but it would work) and then the same with negative, you wouldn’t use 2 because multiplayer blocks make sprites move slower than if you moved them yourself so you have to retest it

basically, you replace all change y by blocks in your gravity with set intended y speed to a value and test for what they should be

@the_true_odst said in Maybe Creaticode knows the issue::

point towards mouse-pointer” is a bit buggy

We’ll look into that.

@the_true_odst in the files app for your chromebook make a new folder, then make three text folders, make sure you have show file extensions on, and rename one to index.html, another to style.css, and another to script.js, I would recommend for this initial setup and for learning the basics of js very quickly, ask an ai about it, Im not saying you should have an ai make it all, but ask it for stuff like what a draw loop is or when to use multiple js files, I think an ai could better explain what Im trying to say in context of a chromebook

@the_true_odst Ah like app store apps where they have the carousel of app images? That’d be awesome

@the_true_odst It is somewhat top down. I suppose you could just alter the general placement to fit your game.

@mod-squadacademy Here is the link for the game:
https://forum.creaticode.com/topic/1902/sneak-peak-of-a-game-omg-this-is-so-laggy

@the_true_odst

This issue has been fixed.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail yeah if you copy a block and edit its name to something invalid it’ll show that, pretty sure any block that actually renders means it does have a texture or something about it defined

@sirbots I created 50 of something (let’s called it “thing1” bc the game I’m making is a secret), 25 of thing2, 12 of thing3, 6 of thing4, 3 of thing5, 1 of thing6, reshuffled the table a few times and pulled the first item out of that table. If that’s what you mean, would you make another table if you have a higher rarity with more rarer things added?

@the_true_odst

This block has been fixed.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail I realized that those blue boxes appear after playing tutorial, I will try to fix that

@info-creaticode It shows now. I think why it didn’t show before was because my internet may have been down (because it wouldn’t let me save, either)

@the_true_odst We may do that. By the way, if you want a PFP, there’s a Scratcher named TechVantage who for a limited time is offering high-quality Canva made PFP’s and banners.

Major feature added for UI:

Music and SFX volume sliders are now added, you may customize the volume for sound effects and music 😄

@tyller_ We’ll look into it!

@mod-squadacademy-1bc96c56
You are right but technically, they take up the same amount of space in blocks.

(join(-)((abs(X)))

has join()(), and abs(), takes up 2 blocks

((abs(X))*(-1))

has abs() and ()*() (multiplication), takes up 2 blocks.

In math, --2 =2, —2 = -2, and so on. I guess it’s more of preference on which method to use. Your method is nice since it works with numbers only, but mine mixes strings (the “-”) and numbers which may be a bit weird even though it’s still interpreted as a number (just a negative one).

@c Few things
You might need to press the flag more than once for it to work properly
Also, Casual (along with multiplayer) is not out yet, but are in works.

There’s also a bug in the sandbox mode (which may also occur in endless mode as well) that the detection indicators (“?” and “!”) will appear even though the bot is invisible. However, I am trying to fix this bug.

@mod-squadacademy-1bc96c56 Ok! I appreciate the offer and I’m gonna start making turbowarp mods again.

@011830-0a42ef84 Use a widget and make its background transparent (transparency 100% in color picker), and make it a loading symbol, try using ◠ and making it spin with the rotate widget block. This is a no sprite solution and can even be done in the Stage or wherever you choose.

@011830-0a42ef84

The issue might be that the current code is highly “inefficient”. It is repeatedly erasing the bar and redrawing it, even if the health has not changed. Usually, you only need to redraw it when the health has changed.

@011830-0a42ef84

Currently there is no code to directly do this. You probably need to calculate their distances and find which one is “too close”

@011830-0a42ef84 using databases is a tiny bit tricky, but they are basically just tables with strict/enforced columns with types (like number, string, or date) and allow you to store rows in them. It is pretty transaction based kinda like actual databases. For a leaderboard you just need to create a database for a leaderboard, and to get data from it, just display say around 100 rows where a stat like coins is greatest, if you were to show some leaderboard of users with the most coins.

I’ll let you tinker around with that first and if you still need help then I would like to see your code and I’ll give working code. I do have a project that demonstrates how to use a database, you’ll have to look in the code though, and what it does it just check if a password you enter is the correct password by asking the database for the password and then checking if the inputted password is equal to the password from the database:

the project is in unlisted shared so u can see it
https://play.creaticode.com/projects/66f85f2ce228c74a133e1128


Hopefully my project doesn’t confuse you more, but all you have to do is just change it up and delete the stuff leftover from my challenge thingie. Instead of using the database to store one singular piece of text, you can use it to store multiple rows like a table and in the end, you could use that database to make a leaderboard of your own and shows what you want.

The columns it should be storing are (user id), found in Sensing, and then any variables.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Alright, the update’s out. Feel free to tinker with it as much as you want! The update log post has been edited with the new patch notes if you want to see what’s new.

@011830-0a42ef84 yeah so the issue is likely that multiple broadcasts are being sent per frame, which causes only some broadcasts to work,there is no way around this as far as I know, actually a really scuffed/creative way could be you have each thing add to a list the instructions, and then each clone looks for their clone id in the list and follows that instruction (actually I might do that in my cell game to prevent a bug I’ve found with my black holes)

@011830-0a42ef84

Can you try it and let us know if there is any problem? You can also try to get help from our AI assistant.

@011830-0a42ef84

We have found the issue. Will post a fix soon. Thank you.

@tyller_ So when you bounce, there’s a variable that activates the jumpBoost so you can jump in the air again. That way you can jump, go to the wall, bounce off, and jump again.

@011830-0a42ef84

Please refer to this example:

play.creaticode.com/projects/675378ad977fa780536fd819

The idea is that we already know the position of the rope, then we just need to know the position of the player, then calculate the direct distance between these 2 2D coordinates.

@011830-0a42ef84

There’s already live post updates. What are the benefits to know when someone is typing?
Plus wouldn’t this also break the whole point of ‘invisible’?

@011830-0a42ef84

Thanks for sharing your project. Here are some high level comments:

You can not mix 3D physics blocks and “set speed” blocks. If you are controlling objects using the 3D physics engine, you have to delegate all movements to the engine, and only use blocks in the “3D physics” category to make objects move/turn.

We can’t add the animations you requested since they are not available in the mixamo.com library. You will have to use the animations available now.

For specific questions on individual blocks, can you please try to ask XO first?

@011830-0a42ef84

Here is an example project for setting the diretion/speed of a 3D object, then read its direction/speed using the object property reporter block:

@011830-0a42ef84

In the costume editor, you can hold down the SHIFT key, then click any shape to select or deselect by itself, while keeping the other selection unchanged.

@catty I’m answering what you are asking, what are you not getting?

@011830-0a42ef84

You can try to unhide the basic sprite and trigger this stack of blocks manually, and you should see the animations. If you are not seeing the same animation in games, then it must be due to other reasons.

You might want to read about how to debug here and try these techniques:

@011830-0a42ef84

Can you please reload the page, and make sure you are logged in, and then try XO again? We have made some improvement to XO, but we are not sure if they would resolve your specific issue. Thanks

@011830-0a42ef84

This is a fun game.

So let’s solve one problem at a time. To limit the rotation speed, you can try to use a loop to repeatedly rotate the sprite a little bit towards the target’s direction.

Here is a demo project:

play.creaticode.com/projects/67351d4fef35162a42f8bc50

As you can see, in a forever loop, we take 3 steps:

calculate angle difference between current direction and the desired direction normalize that difference to within -180 and 180 rotate for up to the speed limit

This is what you will get as you move the mouse:

speedlimit.gif

Added a mini boss: Summoner

(type /summon summoner to spawn it)

https://play.creaticode.com/projects/6730fb66bf68856fe9840816

Please tell me any bugs you find. The launcher might be a bit bugged with summoner, I don’t know how to fix it

@011830-0a42ef84

Your project is loading fine now.

There is one issue that you need to fix. Since you are working with the 2D physice engine, you need to use blocks from the “2D physics” category. Currently it is using the “apply force” block for 3D physics. You can tell the color is different for 3D related blocks.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail lol alr. not that shocking.
but I devoted to that website until some idiots (joking I love them but its annoying at times) decided to block it, so I moved here.

I also may or may not have used the forums for 3+ years, aswell…

@011830-0a42ef84

The “when this sprite clicked” block works for clones, since clones are also sprites.

Also, this is a good question that you can ask our AI assistant “CreatiCode XO”, so you do not have to wait for answers here.

For example, you can ask XO this question: how to make a clone of a sprite say “hi” when it is clicked?

One possible response is the following program with explanations:

6348e856-f188-43bc-bab5-1bb10a05eb28-image.png

Explanation:

Create Clone: The create clone of [myself v] with ID [1] block creates a clone of the sprite with a unique ID (in this case, ‘1’). You can use any ID you’d like.

When I Start as a Clone: This block initializes the behavior for clones. It ensures the following script applies only to clones, not the original sprite.

When This Sprite Clicked: This block detects when any clone is clicked.

Say Block: The say [hi] for (2) seconds block makes the sprite say “hi” for 2 seconds when clicked.

@info-creaticode Does this mean it is not recommended to use other sites for AI generated images?
If so, what if the match you wanted doesn’t show up on the CreatiCode AI gen site?

@011830-0a42ef84

It is working normally now. Can you please try to reload the page?

@011830-0a42ef84 i support that, but Idk if Creaticode would say on the matter.

@011830-0a42ef84

This would be an interesting game/tutorial. We can do it but it will take a while on the queue of things. If you want to start now, you can try to use our AI assistant “XO”. It is pretty good at handling project planning, but usually you get better results if you divide your request into small questions.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Looks like this feature is a bit too complicated. We’ll keep the strict requirements for now until we find a better solution.

@011830-0a42ef84

Not sure I get your point. I have updated the demo project to place the arrow at x=100 and y=100. It still correctly points tot he green ball.

Maybe you can share your project?

@011830-0a42ef84

Please follow these steps:

Step 1: On the MIT scratch website, select “File” -> “Save to your computer”, which will download an “*.sb3” file. Note its location on your computer.

beee791f-d5a6-40ce-904e-dcfb322038dc-image.png
 

Step 2: On the CreatiCode website, create a new project.

Step 3: Select “File” -> “Load from your computer”, then select the sb3 file, then it should load the project with the correct blocks/assets/name:
