gian1xh9

i want point away from edge back for like touching colors and then it points away from the edge like bouncing

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <touching color [#808080] ?> then
    point away from edge::motion
end

end

The edge surrounds the sprites, right? Which part of the edge would the sprite be pointing towards?

Actually, it is the exact same thing. So that is block spamming.

And details? Where would this block point to?

No support. Would be horribly buggy, as it was before its removal.

That doesn't work.

No support. It sounds as if it was very buggy and it's also ambiguous.

I don't feel like making a script for it using the scratchblocks plugin here, but the obvious workaround would be to record every point on the edge to an accuracy of your choice, and get the distance between the object and each point. Then, find the most distant point and have the object point towards that point.

Duplicate.

No support. Way too vague! What if the sprite was touching both edges of a top-corner? Would it point diagonal, down, left, how many degrees would it change? Way too vague.

No. It was like this:

point away from edge

No support. Why do we need this?

Because it was like that:
On older versions

when green flag clicked
repeat (10)
move (10) steps
point away from edge::motion
wait (0.003) secs    
end

On the current version

when green flag clicked
repeat (10)
move (10) steps
undefined
wait (0.003) secs    
end

The previous existence of something does not justify as a need for something. We've had phones the size (and weight) of bricks that have 30 minute battery lives, and all they can do is call- should we bring them back? After all, we had them previously, so they must be useful.

Yes. Blocks like this one were removed for a good reason. The ST usually doesn't remove things unless they're very prone to abuse or are very buggy. |point away from edge| falls into the latter category.
