1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
The yellow blocks in ScratchJr are the 
trigger blocks.

2
00:00:04,011 --> 00:00:07,521
You can use them to indicate when a script
should run.

3
00:00:08,971 --> 00:00:11,971
You can always run a script by tapping on it,

4
00:00:11,971 --> 00:00:14,431
but if you select start on green flag,

5
00:00:14,431 --> 00:00:17,201
you can also run a script by tapping the green flag

6
00:00:17,201 --> 00:00:19,241
at the top of the screen.

7
00:00:19,641 --> 00:00:21,731
The green flag at the top of the screen

8
00:00:21,731 --> 00:00:24,961
will also reset the characters to their starting positions

9
00:00:24,961 --> 00:00:28,671
before running the script, and it will run every script

10
00:00:28,671 --> 00:00:32,981
that starts with a green flag for every character,

11
00:00:32,981 --> 00:00:35,051
all at the same time.

12
00:00:44,444 --> 00:00:48,264
Start on tap will run the attached script

13
00:00:48,264 --> 00:00:51,499
when the character is tapped on the screen.

14
00:00:52,356 --> 00:00:54,736
Start on bump will run the script

15
00:00:54,736 --> 00:00:57,836
when the character is bumped by another 
character on the screen.

16
00:00:58,606 --> 00:01:00,136
You can use this as a way

17
00:01:00,136 --> 00:01:02,276
for two characters to interact.

18
00:01:02,867 --> 00:01:05,547
Another way for two characters to interact

19
00:01:05,547 --> 00:01:07,867
is by using the message block.

20
00:01:07,867 --> 00:01:11,207
A character can send a color coded message,

21
00:01:11,207 --> 00:01:14,383
which will trigger action for another character.

22
00:01:14,998 --> 00:01:17,858
You have 6 colors from which to choose.

23
00:01:17,858 --> 00:01:19,698
The color of the message block

24
00:01:19,698 --> 00:01:22,108
should match the color of the trigger block.

25
00:01:22,108 --> 00:01:24,978
This is useful for programming interactions

26
00:01:24,221 --> 00:01:28,221
between multiple characters.
