[Squeakland] Making a Copy of an eToy from a script and using the mouse pointer to activate an eToy script

[Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas]

Hi all again :),


My students and me are working in a kind of basic pingus/lemmings 
clone[1] using eToys. We would like to use the mouse pointer to select a 
eToy and execute an script. The idea is to make click on a button, for 
example the one with the message "Detener al otro" ("Stop the other") 
and then select the eToy who would have this script enabled using the mouse.

We are also stuck on how to make copies on an eToy, so we work only on 
one, defining scripts, and animations and the we put the amount we want 
in the game. We know about the green halo button for copy, but we would 
like to use not graphically but from inside of a script. We have tried 
to use the message eToyName's copy but it can't be dragged on a script. 
The animations defined for the first eToy are not copied when we copy it.

Waiting for your quick and friendly answer as always,

Offray


Pdt: It seems that we're reaching some kind of stress point of the 
eToys. Would be nice to have the possibility to go from them to their 
code, but the scripts of the eToys seem to have only a code view, but is 
not usable for writing new code. I have bought the BotInc book from 
Steffane (it will be here in Colombia in a month :-/ ), as a path in 
that sense, but I'm wondering if eToys2/Tweak are the way to go from 
eToys to code for extending them and learn more about programming.
