Scratch

Like in BYOB:


What it does is it creates new temporary variables for the script it is placed in. The variable shown on the block is NOT an input, but it is a variable that you can drag to pick up a copy of it just like blocks in the scripting area.

If it were in scratch, it will probably be called something more self explanatory like
"Use temporary variables {the variables} for this script only"

The arrowhead on the block adds another variable and once there is two or more, a left arrowhead to delete the most recently created variable.

You can click on the variable without dragging it to rename it, though scratch will probably change this to a rename option in the right click menu.

When a set block is placed in the same script as a script variables block, it's drop down menu will be updated to include the temporary variables.

If a variable is dragged into another script, it's value there will be 0.

Each script has its own script variables, even if two variables in different scripts share a name.

Recursive block definitions will receive a new set of variables on each recursive call of the block.
