Stamp the background, then stamp the outline and shadow on top! You may need to use a broadcast stamp-back, broadcast stamp-foreground. one after the other, in the background, erase the pen, stamp. Then just stamp in the foreground.

hi
It’s amazing that someone is so dedicated to Scratch for so long. Great job Griffpatch!
If anyone is wondering why the scratch cat becomes pixelated when it is stamped, it is because it is transformed from a vector graphic to a bitmap. Vector graphics are scalable but when it is transferred it snaps to the resolution of the scratch canvas which isn't the same as your screen.

Thanks ( =
Thanks, this was cool! I tried this with a sine and cosine to move the sprite, and it made a great round outline without needing to disable rotation!
Thank you so much Griffpatch, you helped me a lot on my projects. My teacher also loved how the effects work!
Thanks for the AMAZING advice griffpatch!
The tutorial was OUTLINE-MAZING! And also, I found that mysterious lemon, nice spot to hide! Actually, I thought that to make outlines you need to edit in costume editor, making objects have that outline, and adding other objects to hide other outlines, thank you!
The casual replacement of the events tab with a lemon got me so good lol
Thank You Griffpatch, as I had got an idea to make shadows for my parkour game, but I didn't know how. Thanks a lot for your help. Subscribed :D
This is a very helpful tutorial! I use this in almost all of my games now.
I like to customize it a bit by adding a parallax effect. Simply put change X and Y for the shadow, then take into account the mouse position/player position!
Thanks Griffpatch! No wonder why so many Scratch projects look so exotic now.
This is amazing how this kind of script can actually make a master piece!
Thanks for the help on the shadows!
There is actually a way to do the outline for the levels in the costume section that requires no code! All you have to do is: First select everything in the costume. Then duplicate it, after that click the go to back layer button. After that make sure not to click anywhere and change the outline by 10. It will give off the same effect but you can increase and decrease the outline weight.

I found a way to still have the level have a black outline without having to do all the code, it's quite simple, you copy and paste the level, then make your outline, and finally send it to the back layer, it's a bit more block efficient and it saves a bit of time.

A fun idea would be to use the outlining code to make a slightly different color in each direction, so in a platformer you could just detect those colors to see the direction of collisions. Also, the lemon appeared at 11:45.

For outline, you can select all the shapes that constitute the background, and then click "group" to group them. Now all of them will be considered as a 1 single unit. Now you can easily give them a border

The lemon! It's replaced the circle for the events column! I love your space shooter tutorial by the way!
Another amazing tutorial!
8:20 It looks like a horror game with scratch cat's shadow on it XD
LEMON ON EVENTS!!! And I love your channel, and am about to start episode 9 of the platforming series! Thank you so much for all of your help!
btw, setting brightness to something higher -100(like -10) gives a different outline effect. This method is not recommended for sprites, but works great on levels edit: repeating it in distance intervals is slow, but should fix sprites
That was an eventful appearance by lemon ;D

2:20 At this moment I already kown everything that was going to ppend ( I think) I think you will make the sprite ( or rather a clone of the sprite) x% bigger, then make it fully dark. (And the clone will be behind the actual sprite) Now time to watch the video and see if I was right or there was a better technic ... :D Another option i thinked about in first was doing the previous steps, but instead of using a clone we just stamp the sprite then make it smaller.

Hi Griffpatch! I've been watching your videos for a while now. This is relatively off-topic, but have you considered making a tutorial on MMO? I myself have attempted for a bit to fit multiple players onto a single cloud variable, to no avail. So could you maybe try making a video on the topic somewhat soon? Thanks for all of your tutorials so far, by the way! A few of those have really helped me out.

if you want the spike effect he had in the intro use swap in costume editor and red swap black there you go
I know I'm a bit late to the party but using clones instead of stamping actually looks a lot better. However do bare in mind that shadows will become solid if you are using detecting collisions between the player and level. Tto bypass this, I personally stamped the shadow and cloned the outline.
this is an amazing tutorial thank you so much. also the lemon is on the events tab icon at 11:45 - 12:36

Honestly, they should make it to where stamping onto objects sticks to it instead of a paint layer, so if you have 2 squares and stamp on both of them, you can separate them and the stamp will split.

12:31 Events is a lemon Also amazing video dude!

A tip for the outline effect: you could just set the size of the background to something higher and then do the brightness effect and stamp and then bring the size back down and reset the brightness effect
0:10 had a guy not lemon
12:00 lemon at events button! very useful too
it work! 😀
This man always goes the extra mile
1:59 take that out of context
looks so good
this is amazing. but did you tried to make an rts scratch tutorial ?
Just to note you can get the same effect without any coding you just need to duplicate your costume in the costume editor and add a outline of 10 or 5 and put the outline costume behind the regular costume in the costume editor and that's it all in the costume editor.
I LOVE GRIFFPATCH!!
Or for the outline you could just copy the entire costume that has outlines, paste it in the exact spot, put that on the top, remove the copy's outlines you can get the same effect
I saw the notification area. WOW
Would it be possible to do something like this in a tile-based scrolling game? (Similar to what you did in Appel.)
I'm gonna use that script with the scrolling platformer from 2018-2019
infinity helpful :)
What can i say just amazing!
It Workz Yay :)
Another way to make sprites translucent is to get Scratch Addons, and then get the opacity bar. It can make things quicker :)
Only Griffpatch could make the default Scratch purple look professional!
For anyone wanting an easier way to make it not flash black, add a wait 0 seconds block, because the wait time block always wais for the next frame
Griffpatch do you learn physon or programing?
Nice effects
Is there anyway to make the moving platform has shadow
Can I also change the brightness and size for the black lines?
