Next, add a
show
block. Yes, the sprite is already visible now, but at the end of the
script we will make it disappear. This block makes sure it appears again in ime when
the script runs.
We are going to make ive target clones. We will let the target sprite step right ive imes
and create a clone of itself at each step.
1. Atach a
repeat ()
block and fill in
5
.
2. Inside the
repeat ()
block place a
move () steps
block.
3. Instead of a fixed number, use a
pick random
20
to
80
block to make the spots
where a target will appear a litle unpredictable and more interesing.
4. Then, atach the new
create clone of ()
block underneath the
move
command
inside the
repeat
block. Select
myself
.
5.
Finally, use the
hide
opion on the original sprite. Place this block at the end,
outside the loop.
So now we have a cannon, a cannonball, a bunch of randomly created targets, but sill
no exciing game. The cannonball can ly through the air, but it doesn't do anything
when hiing a target; it just passes right through. This can be easily ixed.
We'll coninue scriping the target irst. Ater a clone is created, you can start running
a script on the clone. This is a new way of iniiaing a script.
1. Start a new script in the target object with a
when I start as a clone
block.
2. Atach a
wait unil ()
block. This will pause the script unil something happens.
3.
Place a
touching ()?
condiion block inside the slot. Select
cannonball
