Yet Another 'New Block' Idea... The <I recieve _____> Block!
(In the Sensing section, a hexagon block (Mainly for Wait Until's)
Basic Idea:
In Context:I receiveSOMETHING
Sprite 1-
Sprite 2-whenclicked
foreverifvariable=10broadcastgo
Or, of course, (*sigh*), there is the workaround...whenscreamsayLOUDNESS!for18secswait untilI receivegosetghosteffect to15switch to costumecostume5point in direction90move10steps
Sprite 1-
Sprite 2-whensetvariable2to0foreverifvariable=10setvariable2to1
But, anyway, just an idea!whenscreamsayLOUDNESS!for18secswait untilvariable2=1setghosteffect to15switch to costumecostume5point in direction90move10steps
Isn't he CUTE?!Offline

It would only be true for one millisecond when put in an if or a repeat until block, so it will only really be useful in a wait until block. So either we have

Also it would be in the control catagory not the sensing catagory.i received... ▼in the last2seconds

Tip of the whatever: Don't post in threads older than 2 weeks unless your post will actually be useful.
It's the last day of 1.4! *cries* (quote from NeilWest, rest by me) by the time you read this it probably will be 2.0

I know, but broadcasts are part of the control category so it doesn't make sense to have a broadcast-related block in a different category.

Do you really think there's no reason why the ST hasn't ever added this?!? The boolean needs to report true/false, right? But that's only when the script is checking for it. Try single stepping and think about it. This block isn't realistic. It's a good, but unlikely idea, as this block would almost NEVER report true. I'd support if it was realistic.

It's actually quite easy to put in (at least for scratch 1.4, it's in the block library) and works perfectly in wait untils and repeat untils.
