I Can Answer That. It Mainly Works Like The List Block, [replace item (1) of [list] with [thing] ] Except It Uses Costumes, Camera, Import, etc.

Re: Questions for NXIII
That doesn't help me because I want to make a block that has a space for you to define the filepath to an pic but no matter what I try it doesn't work.
Basically I need to know how the import part works, not the replace.
Check out my projects if you have a chance.

Re: Questions for NXIII
1: You shouldn't be stealing from Panther in the first place,
2: He's already told us lots of times, you just aren't looking hard enough,
3: (A) You shouldn't be planning to steal that block either (B) Why should you care? (C) I don't truly know, but I think it works the same way as you dragging them to different places with the actual mouse.
"I've worked so hard for you and you give me nothing in return. Do you need help... Or do I?"

Take a look at the source code for panther. That might help.

Re: Questions for NXIII
1. CYOB? If so, just make a method with the arguments defined, copy your code, and insert the blockSpec in the desired place.
2. henley is right.
3. it takes a symbol and an integer as arguments and replaces the costume at the given index with a form retrieved by comparing the symbol with some constants

Re: Questions for NXIII
No answers have helped me, I'm trying to make a block that does the same thing except you type in the filepath, so you don't have to use the dialog. Just it doesn't work when I try it because I don't understand most of the code. This is what I want, 
Also I am not stealing anything, it's for my own use and/or a Panther project I may upload.

I tried it but its like this
__
NAME $variable$ |__|
|t1 t2 t3 t4|
CODE
So when I put it in a mod it does not work.

(t2 _ self ownerThatIsA: ScratchStageMorph) ifNil: [^ 0].
t2 scratchServer
ifNotNil:
[t3 _ t2 scratchServer sensorValueFor: t1.
t3 ifNotNil: [^ t3]].
'tilt' = t1 ifTrue: [^ WeDoPlugin tilt].
'distance' = t1 ifTrue: [^ WeDoPlugin distance].
t4 _ t2 sensorBoard.
t4 tryToOpenPort ifFalse: [^ 0].
^ t4 sensor: (self indexForSensorName: t1)

t1 is already defined, why did you put it in your temp vars section?

Re: Questions for NXIII
@JD1: To convert a CYOB block to a block in your mod, you make a method like this:
whatever you want the method name to be here(if there are any arguments, like $Variable$ in the code you posted, put in the following, otherwise, skip it): t1 (if there are multiple arguments, follow this with more text, then put :, then t2, if there are more, more text, :, t3, ect. here's an example) andEatCheese: t2
put your CYOB code here then right click, accept and if it asks, enter your initials. Then navigate to block specs and add: ('name of block, but replace the $Variable$ with %v (I think that's it, or maybe it's %V)' #type of block #whatever your names the method, like examlesAreFun: (notice you don't put t1 in the block specs) andEatCheese: ), right click and accept. 
Hooray!
