I hope this helps you guys out!

[@gregfox51]

thanks it did

[@ShiftClickLearn]

:D

[@aminmiah9773]

For me, when I make a custom block and I put a huge input with it, it doesn't work, so for people with the same issues, just use broadcast(also custom blocks with small inputs like one in the video work)

[@bluevoltgaming2765]

This tutorial really helped! Thanks!!! :)

[@senomation2228]

Please look my scratch:senosenos

[@TieZeeGuy235]

[@bloxzstudios1956]

[@ShiftClickLearn]

You are welcome!

[@eggomyleggos5247]

FINALLY A TUTORIAL ON HOW BOOLEANS WORK!! all of them go over the first and last parameter which are easy to figure out over time but the boolean confused me for weeks!

[@letsgame1854]

You're a live saver! I'm having IT class and we're working with Scratch, I know much about it and never understood these Custom Blocks. I will be so much faster completing my tasks. (Also I when I will start using it my friend will be so confused and don't understand a word.) Thank you so much!

[@nhathoangnguyen3198]

yo i been used scratch for 3 year but still didn't know this untill now,thank u so much

[@Abdo-the-dark]

MAN THANK YOU I WAS SEARSHING FOR EVERY VIDEO IN TH-cam AND IT DOESN'T HELP ME BUT YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO DO THUS THAAAAAANKSSS!!!!!

[@polivent2222]

I would say I never write comments on youtube, but I have to say this. I was expecting a low quality scratch turtorial when searching this topic, but this video is so damn good. Amazing mic and pace. Great turtorial and great explaining. And as I Said I almost never write comments great video

[@ShiftClickLearn]

Hey, thanks a lot for the comment, I'm glad my tutorial was good/ helped you out. :)

[@StarfishStuff]

Thank you so much the helped so much with my projects! Before this I had no idea how to use the booleans and inputs. Also now I finally now how to create platforms! 11/10 awesome work

[@darkplayz9890]

Great video! You did a good job explaining it simple enough for all ages yet it still shows you everything you need to know, keep up the good work!

[@oreoakm]

This was super helpful! Been confused about boolean expressions on scratch for hours now 😅

[@c4thocente557]

Finally figured out what this thing does, thanks :)

[@Yannisngan]

Old video but very useful , I was so confused of custom blocks but now I understand thanks to your tutorial and it might be useful since I have like at least 50 broadcasts in my unshared project

[@FireD4sher]

Thanks for the tutorial! I knew what block itself did, but never knew what Circle and Hexagon input were for.

[@LegoOnyx27]

I already know what custom blocks are. But this is a very good explanation/introduction to custom blocks!

[@ShiftClickLearn]

Cool!

[@ashleighwilson3637]

I agree

[@Bacon_1672]

Thank you for making this! I really didn't know how to use custom blocks.

[@ShiftClickLearn]

You are very welcome! :D

[@abubakr8852]

concise & to the point ,,,, thanks that was very helpful

[@dukenawo7412]

Very helpful video!! I have been using scratch for a long time and always avoided these blocks because they seemed complicated but now I see that it was actually very simple. Thanks a lot!

[@ShiftClickLearn]

You're very welcome- they're really helpful! :D

[@einsteingamer2.0]

Thank you so much, couldn’t figure out how to get my sprite to stop moving when hitting a wall instead of just moving back -20 steps to fight against the player, but it looked bugging and worked terribly. But this help me so much

[@stariobrawl86]

Great video, I just got into scratch and I couldn't figure out what custom block did. You explained really well!

[@ShiftClickLearn]

Thank you, I'm glad it helped you out. :)

[@moomoo_jons1958]

Very good tutorial! Thanks!

[@saanvimurali6a054]

I didn't know how the boolean and the circle thing worked. Thanks for this tutorial!

[@ShiftClickLearn]

You are welcome!

[@RecraftedS]

Also I’m not sure how hard this would be but can you try and make like a sandbox game maybe like the Paper Minecraft on scratch? I’ve been wanting to make a game like that for years. It’s meant to be a fusion of Minecraft terraria. So it would be a pretty good prototype to play with on scratch before I actually make it a fully fledged game. So if you could do it that would be amazing!

[@ShiftClickLearn]

Sorry I didn't reply I have been really busy lately!😁Those types of games are crazy CRAZY advanced...But I have always wanted to make something like that. Maybe someday!

[@charmz_s163]

omg i didnt understand it at first but now i do tysm

[@ShiftClickLearn]

[@hunters7635]

It helps me so much thank you for this making this video

[@diptych1]

This is the vid that got me to follow you - great communication skills! I learned a few things I didn't even realize I was missing out on. So... I guess custom blocks can only apply to other sprites than the one where you created it if you use the backpack to transfer it one new sprite at a time? Is there a place to create universal custom blocks or to import them so that they become unoiversal? (This is the reason I searched for block help to begin with, but now I know how to use the input buttons which massively finer understsnding, so THANKS)

[@ShiftClickLearn]

Sadly you can't make universal custom blocks!

[@zoshida]

so helpful, thanks

[@funnysounds969]

Thanks, this helped a lot! I’m trying to make a PvZ like game in scratch, and it would be impossible without the enemies having HP counters and other stuff

[@funnysounds969]

Just noticed that wouldn’t work because everything would share the same HP variable lol. Why does my brain move so slow! It was still an amazing tutorial none the less

[@ShiftClickLearn]

Thanks! You could try to make the variable for this sprite only- That will make the HP var independent to the individual clones! 😁

[@funnysounds969]

@@ShiftClickLearn Ok, thanks! I had no idea that was what it was for lol

[@BeepBeep472]

is there a way to save these across project? i have a little spinny animation thing on one of my projects and i like to use it on others but it uses some code that idk what i means cuz i had to find a tutorial for it. so i want to save all of that code that makes it spin into one custom block so i can just use one block of code to make my little spinny animation

[@chibacha21_CarBoi]

Store it in the backpack, then open it up in your desired project and drop it in a sprite or the stage.

[@BeepBeep472]

@@chibacha21_CarBoi yea i figured that out like right after i watched this but thank you anyway!

Thank you so much! That would be awesome! 😮

[@theonlycube8538]

The move away script looks good in the video but I came up with the same script myself trying to get collision working in my game and it works if you are facing the object but if you like back into it it glitches you through the object. Hopefully this helped. But the tutorial is really good.

[@ShiftClickLearn]

Thanks! Nice!!

Such a good Video❤❤🎉

[@user-kd3ki9hv8e]

So this is just a broadcast message, a variable, and a substitute for operators. Thats simpler than I thought.

[@jess_tech]

Nice tutorial!

[@somebody4173]

Yeah this is just an broadcast and when I receive massage in a nutshell either usable only for the exact sprite
BTW thx for the tutorial!

[@lukatolstov5598]

You can add text to it, numbers, boolean, text. Works almost same as variable and broadcast and receive blocks.
