Changes the property of a sprite or group of sprites by a given value.
Sprites have several properties that allow them to be changed and customized. These properties can be changed throughout a project.
- Size - the size of the sprite by percentage. 100 is the full, default size. Any number less than 100 makes the sprite smaller, and any number larger will make the sprite bigger.
- Rotation - the direction or rotation the sprite is facing in degrees, 0 to 359.
- x position - the x position of the center of the sprite. To remain on the canvas, this should be a number between 0 and 400. “0” is the normal default direction.
- y position - the y position of the center of the sprite. To remain on the canvas, this should be a number between 0 and 400.
- Movement direction - the direction the sprite travels with the
move forwardblock. “0” is the default value and moves the sprite right (east). “180” moves the sprite left (west).
Using this block will add the specified value to the selected property.
