Sprite clicked
I think that there should be a way to pick which sprite is clicked without going on that sprite. Something like this:
and you can select it like this:
This would be very useful for a game that I am working on at the moment and I am pretty sure that it could help others too.

Re: Sprite clicked
That would be a useful block to have 
But for now, a simple workaround which might help with your game would be.
Sprite 1's scripts:
[blocks]
<when[ Sprite 1 ]clicked>
<broadcast[ Sprite 1 Clicked
[/blocks]
and Sprite 2's Scripts:
[blocks]
<when I receive[ Sprite 1 Clicked
[/blocks]
And then the rest of the script.

Re: Sprite clicked
Great idea. You can already sort of do something to the same effect, as 06dknibbs mentioned. Another way to do it is something to this effect:
would be on the thing that does something when something else is clicked, and
would be on the sprite that should be clicked.
Of course, that's a lot of work, and 06dknibbs' method is a lot easier But I definitely support this block.

Re: Sprite clicked
06dknibbs' method is the one I am using at the moment. But it can be a bit annoying at times.

Re: Sprite clicked
What does braodcasts lag like mean?
I also have another idea.
It then has a selection of the broadcasts you have put.
What do you think?

People discuss them, and if a Scratch Team member sees it, and likes it, they might see if they can include it in the next version of Scratch

There's something like a 0.07 second delay between the broadcast and the when I receive block starting.
