PictoBlox Blocks

Turn () video on stage with () % transparency block controls the control the camera feed on the stage.

This block helps move an object step by step in a given direction within a set time

This block facilitates seamless transitions to your preferred scenes. For instance, if you’re currently viewing Scene 1 and wish to switch to Scene 2, simply select Scene 2 from the dropdown menu to enact the transition.

This block is designed to refresh or reload the current scene.

This block code will give an option to control the object as player control like third person or first person. You can then use arrow keys to make your object move in respective direction.

This block of code applies velocity to the player.
