Top 10 Scratch Hacks 📈 Scratch Tips And Tricks

[@thelearningcreator7makesmu614]

the black and white effect works because any number divided by nothing (not zero) is equal to infinity, if you were to just grab a join operator and type infinity with a capital i, it would also work

[@teapot796]

the duplicate and transparant shapes can be done alot easier with scratch addons. (and the enter key one too i think)

[@TheSTEAMist]

yeah, i just got them

[@sigmathing90]

Glitch effect

that helped me alot bcus people want me to make games and stuff for them but i dont feel like it and thank you so much for making this i will subscribe and like and i love how ur not shy i can hear u so well and again good job dont stop make more !

Thanks for the great video! The transparent square trick really helped me on my game

[@TheSTEAMist]

I'm glad it helped :)

[@gingerfred1854]

ya all i did was i got a transparent block copy and paced it flipped it upside down and conected to the other one

[@MoreThanJustGabe]

[@TheSTEAMist]

@@gingerfred1854 cool!

[@cottonpie777]

I already knew that trick before I saw this video but I didn't know you could get specific blocks of it

[@nickjack25]

The black and white filter may be useful for what Im making. I might have a power that lets you freeze all enemies and effects but you can still move. Kinda like super mario galaxy 2. I might also use the enter key pressed for selecting a level, or any key.

[@TheSTEAMist]

cool!

[@Muho_is_me]

I will probobly use black and white to make phantom versions of my animatronics in a fnaf fangame

[@Unofficial2048tiles]

There;s more scratch hacks, there's one where you take the [Backdrop # of Stage] variable and put it in any different sprite or backdrop and then set the second value to a certain sprite, then drag the block into the sprite you input as the value.

On the smooth movement part, on the divide is that the more larger the numbers, the less strong movement

[@w1ld76]

Thanks alot, those are the things nobody tells you but that can be useful

[@TheSTEAMist]

No problem glad you enjoyed! :D

[@-CookieDev-]

3:20 you can set the key to anything that isnt capital or shift version. for example: change brush size by negative 1 when [ pressed!

[@TheSTEAMist]

Yeah, that's right

[@NadiaK-cu6ix]

​@@TheSTEAMist I agree

[@magmadiverr]

you can also use this to detect shift with any keys that arent letters e.g. = shift+1 but and do the same thing because they arent case sensitive

[@smth35]

I kinda wanted to put out the fact that you could put variables in sensor blocks, but it seems that was already in. I also didn't know bonus keys could get in there!

[@TheSTEAMist]

lol

[@bootlegmew6022]

Another way is Scratch Addons

[@thatoneptfan]

for the smooth movement: the amount you divide by matters. its actually the amount of smoothness. the bigger the number the smoother it is.

[@deathtime4763]

the transparent colours thing can easily be recreated with scratch addons btw

[@TheSTEAMist]

yeah

[@thelearningcreator7makesmu614]

i wouldn't say that smooth movement is really a scratch hack, more like just something that happens

[@Abhinava_Playz_YT]

u can make transparent rectangle + circle so u need scratch addons and same with the copy paste trick

[@ReturnOfClassyTux]

The first one is AMAZING!

[@TheSTEAMist]

thanks

[@joeforest3892]

You can also do [ set x to ((distance from (mouse pointer)) / 3) set y to ((distance from (mouse pointer)) / 3)]

[@joeforest3892]

It's smooth movement

[@TheSTEAMist]

nice!

[@Teplir]

My favorite one is the glide!

[@TheSTEAMist]

Glad u liked it

[@alizacelemcentauri986]

I actually didn't know about the enter key and the black and white effects!

[@TheSTEAMist]

:D

[@Speed-TV]

Updated version: The black and white effect is broken and it doesn't work correctly A better way to get transparent colors is to use the turbowarp paint editor You can duplicate a shape in it's same position by pasting it in a new costume, copying it there, deleting it there, then pasting it back in the original costume The enter key detection wasn't intended so it might not work properly with future updates The retrieve deleted code is just the undo option so it can also be used to undo any mistakes Bonus: You can use scratch addons or turbowarp editor for many more special features and hacks

[@TheSTEAMist]

It works But then you have to leave Scratch That's harder Maybe... Yeah Thanks for your comment :)

Fun fact: You can freeze the scratch tab if you do the following: pull out a Create clone of [myself] block pull out a When i start as clone, another Create clone of [myself] and Delete this clone block Put a create clone of [myself] block under When i start as clone block, then put the delete this clone block under the create clone of [myself] block press the stray create clone of [myself] block your scratch tab should freeze up on the spot you can use this for meta projects

Hey, I'm a big scratch creator, So sometimes when i make a massive project it starts to lag while i'm developing it, and when i click on "Paste" In the custome menu, It pastes a completely different thing than what i selected. now, my fear is, when it lags, it's a sign that the google page is gonna run out of memory. luckily i have my tricks to restore the project just as i left it, but if you know how to fix this please reply with an answer.
