I have an idea for a new blocks in scratch:

Wobble.

change [Wobble v] effect by (100)

What does Wobble do? It distort sprite sideways with a Sine Wave, like this:


This will being helpful for do many thing:
* Make reflection in water look wobbly
* Heat wave effect
* Combine with ghost to make someone look like they are teleport away
* Many other things that I do not think of right now

There are two ways this can be done.

WAY 1:
increasing number of Wobble effect makes Wobbling more severe


WAY 2:
increasing number of Wobble effect makes Wobbling more severe and makes more of them


I hoping that many people will want this and that it is being added.

To make it more useful, the direction it wobbles in could be customised.

Perhaps it ‘wobbles’ in the direction a sprite is pointing in (but that has its limitations, like if you wanted for a sprite to change its wobble direction, without creating new costumes, or changing the direction a sprite is pointing in):


Or it can be changed within the block itself (but that can be confusing):

Set wobble effect to () in direction () :: looks
change wobble effect by () and direction by () :: looks

This looks like it could use up a lot of resources, with this being such a complex effect.

No support, You can just code it:

when green flag clicked
change [Ghost] effect by (25)

Can you actually read the first post, then check your code to see if it works? That script is completely incorrect.
And close your tags, please!

tags?

The [scratchblocks] tags.

i guess support on effect style

It could be kind of cool when you animate it:

set [wobble v] effect to (30)
repeat (10)
change [wobble v] effect by (-3)
end

Yes, this would be how you are doing water reflectings and heat wave effects.

No Support. this will take up many resources.

I don't think it will take that much resources. It's a simple sine wave, which only requires a tiny bit of code in the code for that block.

Interesting idea - I love it! Maybe there can be options for other types of waves too like cosine and tangent waves.

After some long thinking…. maybe this suggestion could actually work.
Here's a mockup I made:

Hope this is what you needed!

Thank you for you kind word!
It is hard to be telling but I think that has been distort up and down instead of left to right. But that is generally the general idea I had going for, yes .

Support, this could be useful for some animations.

Great idea! This could open up a lot of new possibilities

bump .

this post is in needing of more comment before I can ask to add it into the suggestion directory .

Support, adds new possibilities for effects.

I like this idea! It could make games and animations look more interesting.
