Really want the <broadcast received> block?
Sorry if this is the wrong type of topic. I couldn't find anywhere to post it. So you want this block? Then go here: The <broadcast received> block and vote for it! Votes: 1 vote = I want it. 2 vote: = Great idea. 3 vote = GIMME!
I hope this is what you want!

I believe this topic is better suited for "Suggestions". I'll have it moved there. 
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

I would consider this idea, due to the fact that it can help new scratch users save time from being confused.
Although, there is already a block that has the same function as from what I interpretated from your post and what you meant to say. If you use the "when I receive < _ >" block it should do the same thing as the block you are suggesting.

Please correct me if I am misunderstandi ng the function of the block you are suggesting.

Re: Really want the <broadcast received> block?
Problem with the boolean idea- the boolean block has to check to see if the broadcast is being sent at the EXACT same moment it is being sent. I was going to suggest the boolean, but when I thought about it, it didn't seen feasible. Maybe if the blocks kept track of when the broadcast was sent, it could determine whether or not the boolean is "true." But this could get pretty hairy.
IF, and only if the ST figures out a reliable way to do this, I support. But if not, I'd just like to point out that you can do this with variables already, but it can get complicated.
If none of what I said made sense, try single stepping offline. Combine it with rational thought and you should come out with understanding.
