Awesome block idea

___     ___________________________________________

| apply to stage monitor of [drop-down]____________|

|   |_____________________________________________
|________________________________________________|
The drop-down will contain all variables, lists, the timer, attributes (such as x position, volume, costume) basically anything with a stage monitor, and it will run the script inside to as if the stage monitor was a sprite that run that script and it can do anything a sprite can (hide, show, move, change colour, stamp...)

I think that may be the purpose of this, just with a c block instead of a whole new scripting pane for each watcher. Maybe you could have a scripting pane for all the variable watchers, and then organize which script controls which watcher using a drop down like in the suggestion?

I think you're actually right about this, and it might be easier to only have the one block.

I think a new "sprite" would be better.
Hat blocks would be like

Re: Awesome block idea

that is a good idea too then there could be another block just for monitors:
|set layout to [large/normal/slider]|

If you have a suggestion, first search it to make sure it isn't already there. (your idea is in tons of topics) If it isn't there, you can make your own topic. Don't spam on other topics.
